Meg Inokuma and Matt Green completed this linkup unsupported on July 14-15, 2020 with the following report:

"It was at the back of my mind to do the FR. There were sections I wanted to go for a recon, and I thought my summer was gonna end if I do all the recon trips. My friend suggested just do it and call it “a long recon”. Brilliant idea. Meanwhile, exactly two weeks ago to be specific, I asked another friend of mine if he’s interested in doing it with me and he said yes. So we did! As it’s a recon, our plan was to enjoy 24 hour hike. We slept in and started after 8am. When we watched the sun still above the horizon from Temptation and realized 24hrs was a little too much overestimate, we wished we had started a few hours earlier. Neither of us had an ideal pack and both of us carried more than twice as much food as we needed, but the view was absolutely gorgeous, and we saw many sheep throughout our route including a few of them walked towards us up to 5 feet away! We screwed up our route choice big time a couple sections, but overall it worked well and we had a blast :D. We finished in 20hrs 55min.
