Truly magnificent.

Hiked ("hiked" being more like charging through the thicket) for 15
minutes,
felt like 15 miles but in reality was likely more like 1500 yards, then

1500 yards in 15 min. is standard speed
for infantry marching on a road or dry ground.
Through jungle foliage you must have gone
less than a quarter mile.

Hm......well, unless he was moving in excess of the standard speed for
infantry marching on a road or dry ground. Or, for that matter, at
considerably less than that speed.

who knows that 441 yards is not less than a quarter mile.....and that
"jungle foliage" is sometimes used more or less figuratively.....if not to
say loosely....in the lower great lakes region.
