AT 3 - 29th March

Zero(c) last night. It was cold but I didn’t need to wear all my clothes which was good. Slept better. Woke early and stayed in warm bed till 7:30. Eat 2 portage portions to warm up. Another short day to Gooch mountain shelter. 8 something miles. I’m at 35km along. Starting slow till the legs kick in. Trail legs they call it. Setup  tent at 12:30 and ate lunch and had a sleep. 

I’m traveling with 3 (older guys) and 6 youngsters. I’m going to stick with the 3 till Neels gap mountain crossing. This will be the first resupply and probably stay somewhere with a real bed!!!!

We don’t walk together but we meet up at night. I’m giving one guy some dried dinners to tide him over till resupply. He underestimated and I overestimated. It’s nice having trail buddies. 

Thought for the day. 

Why does someone leave his father & mother and find a husband/wife. There’s the easy answers that they might be madly in love. But what is at the core of marriage. I know not everyone marries but it is certainly one of Gods designs. Maybe it for love or sex or to have kids. Today with my three companions I concluded it was for companionship. You can share anything with your other half. You can be open and honest. You can trust each other and never fear of rejection. You can talk about anything, well maybe some exceptions, weight, cooking, hair colour, clothes. You look lovely in that dress dear!!! To have a companion like that makes you feel whole. Jesus is definitely our companion and it’s the same, we can share anything. Keep walking life’s journey with your companion and also with Jesus. 

I miss so my companion.
