Only Laz: "6 and a half days after the start, we have one closing in on the finish... . michael carson is starting down sand mountain after 417 miles... of course he still has to climb back up, descend halfway, and then climb it again ... . through the woods!"
"while we all slept last night michael completed the climb up daus mountain road and ran on out to gruetli-laager and palmer. only 4 major climbs will remain in the final marathon of his 420 mile (or maybe 426) adventure!"
A 35-mile food desert last night. Laz's update read like daily minutes of a MASH unit: "we spent a lot of the day getting the casualties moved and planning their return... while we were hauling off the more seriously wounded, the only slightly wounded continued to climb and descend mountains"
Laz updates on Facebook for Third Circle of Hell: "and so we head into the third night. the first three have already cleared the great desert of the crab orchard mountains. michael carson has a 2 mile lead over addison hendricks and christine tokarz"
The Third Circle of Hell has begun. 420 miles of nasty. A Lazarus Lake creation. Of course.

The number of fallen has reached 21, leaving 115 of the original 136 "to continue the long trek to the rock." #LAVS
Meanwhile, there's the "annual migration of the homeless" in Tennessee that is #LAVS Over 120 runners still in the 314-mile "event." Heat index 107...
Courtney Dauwalter wins Hardrock for a fourth time--breaks course record. 26 hours 3 minutes. 💪
Ludovic Pommeret wins Hardrock for the third time--breaks course record with 21 house 11 minutes.
Unknown starting line. Life-threatening heat. Bears. #LAHOTS has something for everyone. A Lazarus Lake creation.
Both were after the limits of human potential. Both hippies. Both on the other side of the law at times. One forgotten. The other not so much. HOWIE: www.amazon.com/Search-Al-Ho... LAZ: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DV...
HOTS this year has begun in Savannah. Runners were put on a bus and driven to a destination unknown to them. Now, they know. The job now is to run back to their cars. PC: Walter Handloser #HOTS
The Craziest Race you most likely never heard of is about to begin. They know where it ends but not where it begins. "they know one thing. at 0730 (central time) tomorrow their cars will be parked in a hayfield 400 miles away... and they will have 11 days and 10 nights to reach them." - LAZ
LAZ after walking Across the Country for a third time, enjoying a chocolate beverage. Baker's Beach, San Francisco. PC: Olle Berg
LAZARUS LAKE, 71, has stuck his cattle prod in the Pacific, finishing his third walk across America and his second Transcon. 💥 "hear me my friends my feet are sick and sad from where the sun now stands i will walk no more forever apologies to chief joseph" #lazcon COMPLETE
THOSE wanting to walk with Laz as he finishes his walk across America: The Geezer is expected at 0700 at the Golden Gate Bridge. Be sure to give him space. He can bite. PC: Olle Berg #lazcon
Laz has spotted the Golden Gate Bridge. He will take an easy day, today. Then, hit the bridge Saturday morning and walk to the ocean. PC: Olle Berg #lazcon #sanfrancisco #california The Endurance Artist: www.amazon.com/Endurance-Ar...
Geezer alert for San Francisco. 💥 Saturday is the Golden Gate Bridge. Laz has now walked over 4,000 miles on this trek. "my response time isn't what it was a thousand miles ago." #lazcon Final Leg, Day 57
Laz can smell the sea air. He looks to be in San Francisco on Saturday, marking his second Transcon and his third walk across the country. #lazcon Final Leg, Day 56
Laz has left Sacramento. But not before being stalked by another Barkley Gate. #lazcon Final Leg, Day 55 San Francisco coming.
Laz has made Sacramento. 💥 "the last eruption of the santorini caldera actually blasted this statue head into low orbit... you learn stuff here." #lazcon Final Leg, Day 54
"it is not an adventure if you know how it will come out." Laz gets lost but rebounds with a big mileage day. Barkley's yellow gate caught following him. 👀 #lazcon Final Leg, Day 53
"the left foot is trash. the legs are shot. i am so wobbly on my feet that i have trouble not falling." Lazarus Lake, 71, on his third walk across America, has nine more days to San Francisco. This is Laz one morning in West Virginia... two years ago. 👇 #lazcon Final Leg, Day 52
