I can tell that there have been setbacks, but you bounce back each time. Your whole family has helped you on this quest, along with friends and your church. May God bless you and your family!

I liked the people and restaurant, but it was probably my hottest night on trail and noisy. I got very little sleep and left as soon as I could.<br /><br />2. Socks are impossible to clean. Even if you spend 5 minutes per sock for pre-rinsing them before putting them in the washer, the water will still come out brown.<br /><br />3. The breakfast at the restaurant is very good and they serve thru hiker portions. The pancake challenge is 5 lb of pancakes. I think I could have eaten 5 lb of something else, but pancakes. I don't like them anywhere near enough for that.<br /><br />4. I spent a lot of time with my feet and lower legs black from a mixture of sweat and dirt. It's no wonder that socks are impossible to clean.Pathfinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214257582401880599noreply@blogger.com
