Hotter 'n Hell

Darrin, Chris, Michael and I are sitting here in a Wichita Falls hotel room rehashing our HHH experience.

We felt kind of shafted... they closed the Hell's Gate cutoff and hour and 45 minutes early, because it was already 105 degrees at 10 a.m. If we had known that there was a chance of the cutoff coming early, we could have easily made it there by 10:45, but since we didn't know we spent lots of time chilling at the rest stops. We got to the cutoff at about 11:15, thinking we were way ahead of the 12:30 cutoff, only to find out we were getting diverted to the 78 mile route.

The temperature at the finish: 108 degrees.
