OMG! So now that we dropped 15 lbs off the cart life was a little easier today. For a little while. My pack is still too heavy for me so we decided to put the pack on the cart because bill needed more weight in the back. I pushed using the handle in the back and he pulled. Win win for both of us! Beautiful weather, sunny, high 60s with a breeze but we still sweated a lot!! Unfortunately, the directions from ADT were incorrect. ... said we only had 9 miles to do to the campsite. ..turned out to be 13.74. It was not pretty. See the pic of bill, he was wiped out. Anyway we are staying at this camp site for a couple of days to rest our feet (which feel like they've been beaten with a stick- no lie.
Trying to eat but no appetite yet. We are doing good tho, truly.
Lat 38.75. Lon 75.39
Happy Birthday Kathleen. I hope you have a beautiful day. You are missed. Glad your first couple days on the road went well. I am glad you guys are getting rid of some excess. Remember, it is not the speed of the trip that matters it is about the experiences along the way. Don't push to hard.

ReplyDeleteKathy - Laurie shared this with me. I am intrigued by your journey and wish you well. I'll look forward to the updates. Abbie.
ReplyDeleteHere lies Bill. Score: Trail, 1; Bill, nil. rest your dogs and be present; don't talk so much about next, rather about "now..." In your honors am reading the journals of Lewis and Clark...
ReplyDeleteAwesome mike. Like what you said.
DeleteHi, Bill and Kathy - that picture says it all - we are all pulling for you (mentally, that is). Glad you are resting for a couple of days - you can just go at your own pace - its not a race. Love you, Mom
