Hiked about 3 miles up to the road from our campsite. Dad was happy to be done hiking. The uphills were killing him. He took us into town, we stayed at a golf resort, did laundry, resupplied at Walmart, ate Mexican Food, then saw THE HUNGER GAMES. Ice cream and Lucky Charms after the movie. Such an awesome day. I am so thankful for my Dad.

Having been a fan of the books and greatly anticipating the film, there was a lot of knife throwing practice before and after seeing this movie.

Oh, the tale I heard from Dad upon his return of those uphills and the consequential blisters. I do not envy those elements of the trail, though I do still envy Mom & Dad for going to visit you guys while en route. Did you throw that knife? That's an impressive... whack? throw? Can't really call it a "shot."
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your trail journal entries.
Praying for you, and I love you, my brother!
