Good Afternoon,

So far, we’ve walked about 342 miles.  Now sitting at a truck stop .4miles off the trail.  After a breakfast and lunch at McDonalds, and a bit of resupply, we have a 27 miles stretch without water to get into Wrightwood. 

  

  

 See the Golden Arches?  🙂 

We are doing well – the problem I’m having is the pads of my feet and remaining blisters, or constant re-forming of blisters.  Other than that – I am in good spirits.

    

    

  

  

  

  

 

This Trail has been much more challenging for me out of the gates than that of the Appalachian Trail, I’m thinking because of the physically demanding mileage because of the water needs.  

I’ve also found lately to be missing Glen and Sam tremendously, all of the events that have and are happening – along with my direct family.  It’s been a bit of a different hike for me this time around, and the realization of just how much it means to have wonderful people in my life.

   
                 

   
    

I must apologize for the timeliness of my updates – it’s been a bit more difficult than expected.  
Thank you all for the love, support and interest in my hike.
