April 27, 2021 739 Last night I was asleep by 8:30pm and then I woke up again when my wet tent was sitting against my head! Um, what? My tent was covered in snow, so I knocked it off from the inside and looked at my phone. Only 10:30pm! Ugh. It felt like I’d been asleepContinue reading “Day 55:…no, wait, Day 56:…”

Day 50: Wild Horses!
April 21, 2021 668.2 Because I camped alone, I set my phone alarm. Good thing, too, because I’m pretty sure I’d have slept until the sun came up otherwise. It was very quiet this morning. I felt like every little movement and rustle I made inside my tent was equivalent to a stampede of elephantsContinue reading “Day 50: Wild Horses!”
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 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 33: Pine, AZ
April 4, 2021 Mile 460.5 I slept like the dead and woke up around 5:00am, much later than usual. I guess I was feeling rushed to be ready to hike because I spilled coffee all over the inside of my tent. If it was just coffee it’s wouldn’t have been that bad, but my coffeeContinue reading “Day 33: Pine, AZ”
Day 30: The Not-so-Good Day
April 1, 2021 Mile: 406.4 I was up at 4:15am. One of the lines on my tent broke. Not sure how. Maybe it got chewed by a critter? I’ll have to fix it later. At least my tent didn’t fall down in the night. It’s just one corner so not detrimental, and I have myContinue reading “Day 30: The Not-so-Good 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 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 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”
