Covered 15m today. Dan's Achilles are much better. Unfortunately for me he hikes faster than me so I have to go all out.
Mountain laurel, rhododendrons are green and the grey oaks have got buds on them. There are frost crystals on the ground. Sunny and cool.
We are on the top of trey mountain. The wind up here sounds just like big ocean waves crashing.
My lungs are getting bigger In order to get the lactic acid from building up in my legs.
The arms work just as hard pushing down and back on the hiking poles to help push the body forwards.
We are not as hungry as I expected but but are bodies are spent and we go to bed at dusk.

Awesome props to you guys! I've been watching 2017 YouTube thruhiker videos to see if I can catch a glimpse of you, but no luck so far. Curious as to how you got your pack weight down to 22 lbs. that's a pretty drastic cut.

Yes how did you get rid of half of your stuff? Did you get rid of your toilet paper?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm surprised Frodo got hurt before Sam...
Sent home our packs sleeping bags and tent for lighter items. Got rid of more than 2 pair of anything. Kept dual pourpose items. Frodo is now back to kicking my butt on uphills. Though if I keep dropping 10lbs of fat a week....that may change.
