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”
Day 19: Water Tanks & Jumping Cacti
March 21, 2021 Mile: 231 The coyotes howled all night long and from all around us, like they were circling us or something. I wasn’t really nervous but it definitely kept us both awake, which kind of sucked. We reached 4199’ elevation by 9:00am and had some great 360 degree views, followed by lots ofContinue reading “Day 19: Water Tanks & Jumping Cacti”
Day 18: Oracle State Park
March 20, 2021 Mile: 212.9 Oh sweet, merciful Jesus. I don’t believe I’ve ever slept this well in my entire life. My hotel bed was so comfortable, like a nice, soft, broken-in bed you’d find at home. I definitely slept like the dead. I’m sure it helped that the last several nights I’d had almostContinue reading “Day 18: Oracle State Park”
