Month: July 2021

Night in a motel, hot food, resupply, planning ahead and great time with Mary, wife, and Christa, sister.

New shoes. 733 trail miles on the last set. No more cushion left in them.

After a late second breakfast took a long nap. Realizing how tiring hiking every gets. Definitely notice how slow things heal.

Met a southbound hiker just doing Oregon. Retired and remembers going to Catholic school and daily Mass. He no longer practices. His sister still does and goes to a church that still does the Mass in Latin. He did not know there is Religious life outside the Roman church. Very supportive of the OSF after I educated him on some of the details that make us a non-traditional order.

Hyatt Lake has a place that serves breakfast. Cannot pass up a hot meal that is a mile off the trail.

My cousin Bob snd his wife Heather hosted me at their place for a day of rest. Thankful for their support. Getting dropped off at the trailhead to start the day
