Total: 610

We passed 600 today! Yay!

It was a beautiful walk today. We started out with a climb that brought us up into pine forests with tons of miner's lettuce. It looked like some of the places we passed through got some rain. So it was all lush and green and wet with huge boulders that looked like they would be fun to climb. That's one of the drawbacks of this lifestyle is that you're always excited to see what's around the next corner or to get the miles done that you don't have time to stop unless you're resting. We don't have our climbing shoes anyway. 

Anyway, it reminded me of the northwest and I remembered that I miss it up there. 

We made 14 miles by 12:30 so we stopped for a break at a spring, had delicious and heavy avocado, cream cheese, hummus, and miner's lettuce wraps and took a nap. Bubbles, Pepe and Megaphone were there, as were Storytime and Pfeisty. We all enjoyed a long break and then did another 6 miles to another water source for dinner. The next natural water source that's not 2 miles off trail isn't for another 34 miles from there so we're carrying lots of water. But there isn't as much food so it's not too bad. 

The second half of the day was flat. There was even a huge meadow! I love meadows.

Now I'm getting my feet rubbed. Must go. Hope it doesn't rain, we're cowboying it.
