Isn't chili essentially a burrito without the tortilla? Seems very much a Scalzi thing.

If you are ambitious you can add in a couple of 14ers along the way.
I also did a shorter 5/6 day version cutting through the middle of the loop.

If you start/finish at Twin Lakes that allows resupply at Monarch Pass AND Princeton Hot Springs. We did the Collegiate West first. Timing can be tricky since rooms at Princeton can fill up. Good stop for a shower at least. Phone service above (north) of Hwy 50 you can call and check availability.

Came here to say the same thing. Probably could grab some twizzlers and peanut butter to go with the curds.

The Highland bus has a long stop part way back (Hvolsvöllur?). Rather than waiting, we switched to a Strætó for the rest of the trip. There were a number of stops along the way and we had to make another change when we got into town but we still got into Reykjavik a couple of hours earlier.

Part of the challenge is getting a Highlands bus back from Skógar to Reykjavík. It takes the better part of the day and departs Skógar mid morning (10:15). Too early to catch if coming from Thórsmörk. So plan on a full day of travel at the end. There may be other options with Strætó.

Very easy to find. Near the central camp (Langidalur hut). Also where the busses cross. We spent 7 days. Extra nights at Hvanngil and Thórsmörk. It was a long final day on the Fimmvörðuháls.

My wife and I hiked Laugavegur and Fimmvörðuháls trails a couple of years ago. Absolutely spectacular.
Most challenging river crossing was going into Thórsmörk.
There should be a bridge going out of Thórsmörk. Don't try to wade that river.

Yes. And an inverse correlation is the opposite. One increases the other decreases. So a "direct inverse correlation" bears no relationship to reality.

Did he confuse Baden-Powell with Biden?
Or maybe has an issue with their mission statement?
