AT 4 - March 30th





 


What does the journey of 1000 miles 

start with ? The first step. 

What does the journey of 2000 miles 

start with ? Nothing, you’d be mad to start!!!


We have had our first pull out. Tom one of my amigos had to pull off the trail. He may come back but it was just too much. We are meeting him in Neels gap (tomorrow) for a few beers. 


Short section today because we have to walk the next section in one day. You have to have a bear canister to store your food in or you are not allowed to camp on that section. 


We’ve made reservations in Comfort Inn for tomorrow night. A real bed and hot water shower instead of rivers!!! Steak house next door. I’m salivating already!!


Built a dam so I could swim. Mark helped. Worth every hour making it.

    How do you get out if you want your pull out? I have visions if a helicopter snatch!
