April 12, 2021 546 What a lovely nights’ sleep! I was wide away by 5:30am (a late morning!) and decided it would be a nice treat for Ghosthiker if I could make us coffee in the full-sized coffee machine before she woke up. Unfortunately, even though I was as quiet as could be, there weren’tContinue reading “Day 41: The Shoe Eating Trail”

Day 40: This is Our Bubble
April 11, 2021 533.6 Shockingly enough, there was no condensation on our tents or quilts this morning! Yay! It also wasn’t quite as cold as yesterday when we started getting up and around at 4ish, but it got progressively colder by 6:00am. The sky through the trees was so clear and the stars were soContinue reading “Day 40: This is Our Bubble”
Day 39: Cow Water is the Best!
April 10, 2021 523.5 I woke up around 4:00am having to pee something awful, which was doubly-terrible because it was absolutely freezing outside. Ugh! Back in my tent, I had some trouble getting my water heated for coffee. Because it was so cold, the steam made it look like the water was near boiling, butContinue reading “Day 39: Cow Water is the Best!”
Day 37: A Very Good Day
April 8, 2021 492.2 I slept really well last night. Rather than assume I’d be warm enough, I put on my thermal leggings and fleece and cinched the toe box on my quilt, then left my vestibule door half open to help with any possible condensation since we’re camped kind of low and right nextContinue reading “Day 37: A Very Good Day”
Day 35: …or Two…
April 6, 2021 Zero The new air mattress I ordered on Amazon still hasn’t arrived at the Post Office, which is not good. Fortunately, Ghosthiker and I decided early on yesterday that, seeing as how we’ve passed the halfway point of this hike and the last stretch was so long and draining, it was highContinue reading “Day 35: …or Two…”
Day 34: A Much Needed Zero Day
April 5, 2021 Zero I woke up fairly early from unsettling dreams and couldn’t get back to sleep. We walked across town to the Early Bird Café for breakfast. The portions were huge and everything was delicious, and hikers both strange and familiar came trickling in during our time there. The Trio arrived shortly afterContinue reading “Day 34: A Much Needed Zero Day”
Day 29: Almost Halfway!
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”
