Mile 77 / KM 124
Mount Laguna to Julien

Song stuck in my head: ‘Suspicious Minds’ by you know who
I miss: Body lotion

 

Zero. My new favourite number. That's how many miles I'll walk today. Not a single one. Sarah, Joe and I are staying in Julien for the night. A cute little town where everything is about apple pies and beer. My kind of town! Finally got to shower and do laundry which feels more than amazing. My body is adjusting to the new physical exertion of hiking every day and I'm thinking that by tomorrow things won't hurt anymore at all.

I had a rough night two days ago. Another storm had rolled in and all the stuff in my tent got damped including my down sleeping bag which wasn't great. I was so mad and about to throw my tent down the hill... but, I didn't. Smarter than Reese. Turnes out that I should have sealed the seams of my tent with silicon before using it... I had no idea this was a thing!!! No one had told me that at the store! Well, Seamsealer is on the way now. Better not rain until I get it.

The mist burned off and cleared to view to this amazing mountain range. Happy to be here.

Trail lunch. Tortilla, avo, cheddar and tuna. I actually love this stuff.
