Today was our first unplanned zero day. We sure hope this doesn't happen too often. Whatever it was that made us both ill seems to have passed for the most part. We are both very anxious to get back out on the trail tomorrow. We are shooting for a somewhat shorter day than we had planned, but we'd like to make sure that once we have our hip belts cinched around our waists, we're going to be feeling okay. :)
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. We're meeting up with Brian from Gannett towards the end of our day, and I believe he will have a photographer along with him. That will be cool -- especially since we'll be showered and as clean as we can be! Of course, I don't mind being caught at my grubbiest, either -- it's all part of the gig! In fact, it's kind of nice to have a good excuse to let ourselves have dirt under our fingernails just like when we were kids.
So many parts of this are so challenging, sometimes we wonder if we'll make it the last few miles to our campsite. But mixing that in with the fun, fresh air, laughter, and nature make it all come together. Mom says, "This is the hardest thing I've ever done, but positively the most rewarding."
We have received so much great feedback on our blog and our guestbook. Your thoughts and messages really push us along! Especially when we hear that we've helped someone dealing with bone marrow disease. It brings me tears of happiness to know that each step we take is helping, and it is so worth our efforts!
