Because we all enjoy different things, and hike for different reasons. HYOH.

Or, as I have said before, even at the ridiculous speed of 3 mph, the scenery isn't blurred at all. And, being able to hike 20+ miles per day means more miles between resupplies and potentially going places and doing things that you wouldn't have been able to otherwise. I do think that it is in poor taste to state how many miles you've hiked or are going to hike when nobody asked you.
