That muddy stretch around Mount Hood in spring is exactly what wore me down too. I think I logged 300 of those 1,000 miles just slogging through that same section near Timberline Lodge. Every year I tell myself I'll skip it and hike somewhere drier, but then I end up back there because it's close.

Makes the number feel less like an achievement and more like a sentence you served.

Had a buddy hit his neighbor's aluminum siding from 15 feet away with a pressure washer once. The stream cut a straight 3 inch gash right through it before he even realized what happened. Took him twice as long to patch the damage as it did to clean the driveway.
