A Side-Trip for Groceries

3-16-06

Start: Tecumsey Lake (BT)

Destination: Walnut-Dowler Rd. (BT)

Miles: 21.6

Weather: Cool and overcast

I'm exhausted, so this is going to be a short one. Our morning started out kind of rough. A part to our stove fell off and got lost in the pine needles temporarily. Then it wouldn't start until mom dug around for the lighter. Once she found the lighter, it lit right up. Then I spilled water in the tent. Filtering water this morning was cold, and slow-going due to mucky water. The good news is, a rough morning usually means a good day. And it was good. Long, but good.

We got our miles in like we wanted, and we needed some camp meals before our next mail drop, so we took an off-trail route as far as our legs would take us. We called a cab for the last few miles and got a hotel.

Tomorrow we're heading into the Hocking Hills area. And I need to get to sleep.

Yo, I am so proud of you two!! Especially when I hear about the yucky weather, or rough conditions you're going through, and then all the positive comments about what is good about it! Proud I am related-keep truckin'!! Your dad (husband) said he would come and help me move, so I have to email him and let him know the exact date. Hope this finds you healthy and happy-Love ya, Kandi

Hey Girls!
It sounds like you could use a break and get refreshed so please take it! You have earned it this week and you need to give your bodies a chance to heal and be ready to forge ahead, right? Now, listen to your personal trainer! Rest is part of the package! We are all so very proud of you and believe me, I wish I could be there to help in any way so "feel the love" in spirit, OK? Orders: REST and RELAX today!
Love, Annie and Jerry

It is so good to open my ourhike.com favorites and find a new entry. We didn't like not hearing for a few days but know that we should expect that from time to time. You two are making it happen....what a twosome!! We think of you every day. We had a call from Keith upon his return home last week. Great talking to him and getting an up close and personal report on his women. I had sent him the photos we took while your were here (WV). March on!
