March 31, 2021 Mile 387.3 The trail was mostly a dirt road walk today, at least for the first 10 miles. We didn’t even need to take a break until the water source at 376.2. We passed Bass in his tent a few miles out and then he passed us along the trail a fewContinue reading “Day 29: Almost Halfway!”

Day 28: “Pre-Fried Pineapple”
March 30, 2021 Mile: 365.3 The marina is a busy place at night, apparently. Lots of pickup trucks coming and going, and the glaring street lights in the nearby parking lot never turn off. There were also some RVers hollering back and forth across the parking lot to each other in the dead of night,Continue reading “Day 28: “Pre-Fried Pineapple””
Day 27: Roosevelt Lake Marina
March 29, 2021 Mile: 345.3 Slept so well last night. Good thing, too. I needed it. I hope Ghosthiker slept the same if not better. I only woke up once to put more air in my mattress and then I didn’t wake up again until 5:00am. I actually had a dream that I got offContinue reading “Day 27: Roosevelt Lake Marina”
Day 26: So Much F***ing Scree
March 28, 2021 Mile: 335.5 When we went to sleep, the air was calm and the sunset was beautiful, but around midnight, the wind picked up. I eventually heard a lot of rustling and quiet exclamations coming from Ghosthikers tent and asked what she was doing. She was nervous that the wind was going toContinue reading “Day 26: So Much F***ing Scree”
Day 25: Of Snakes and Dark Humor
March 27, 2021 Mile 316.5 I didn’t sleep as well as I hoped I would with the brownie and alcohol (did I mention we were also drinking a lot of beer yesterday? RIP). I slept on the top bunk in the room with two sets of bunkbeds, but the room was kind of hot andContinue reading “Day 25: Of Snakes and Dark Humor”
Day 24: Sleeping Pads and Fish Tacos
March 26, 2021 Zero!! Those of us in the living room were awake early. Bass and I were awake around 3:00am, unbeknownst to each other. He eventually got up to shower and I just laid there because the girls bathroom is attached to MJ’s bedroom and she said it was fine to visit in theContinue reading “Day 24: Sleeping Pads and Fish Tacos”
Day 23: MJ’s Place
March 25, 2021 Mile: 300.5 The moon was so bright last night, and I definitely woke up at least twice to the sound of someone rummaging through their food bag. Pretty sure it was Cameron, lol. That’s okay, because I definitely had to roll off my sleeping pad and blow it back up at someContinue reading “Day 23: MJ’s Place”
Day 22: The Devil’s Lettuce
March 24, 2021 Mile: 281.6 It rained all night long. We were so thankful for our hotel room, but felt kind of bad for our hiker friends who’d skipped town and were camping in the rain. I guess that’s what you sign up for, on a thru-hike. We’ve definitely done our fair-share of camping inContinue reading “Day 22: The Devil’s Lettuce”
Day 21: Kearney, AZ
March 23, 2021 Mile: 262.9 The moon was really bright last night but I still slept pretty well. Naturally, Ghosthiker and I were the first ones up and breaking camp, hiking out around 6:30am. Lots of great scenery this morning so I took several photos. It was a fair climb out of camp and weContinue reading “Day 21: Kearney, AZ”
Day 20: A Big Mile Day
March 22, 2021 Mile: 251.9 We left camp around 6:30am and covered 6.8 miles by 9:30am. Not terrible. We even found a water cache at Freeman Road, which was unexpected and totally awesome! We were afraid we might have to hitch into town to get water today. It’s a very long, dry stretch. The windContinue reading “Day 20: A Big Mile Day”
