HIKING, TRAVEL, AND THE TIME BETWEEN
Miles 947.9 – 974.6 >>> 26.7 (43.0 km) We woke up a little late today and weren’t on the trail until a quarter to seven. My guess is that our bodies are realising that the days are getting shorter. According to my sun position app was sunrise at 6:27 am today. We still felt good …
Miles 974.6 – 996.7 >>> 22.1 (35.6 km) We slept in a little again. It was freezing cold and we really didn’t feel like leaving our warm-ish and comfortable-ish sleeping bags. Even though we’d be getting into town today, we were a little sluggish. We did get up though. Trouble moved behind some bushes to …
Miles 996.7 – 1016.1 >>> 19.4 (31.2 km) We woke up, had another shower, and packed up. There was breakfast to be had. We were at the cafe by seven o’clock. Alas, they didn’t open until 7:30 am though. The three Japanese hikers were also there and we all stood around the entrance door, shivering …
Miles 1016.1 – 1038.6 >>> 22.5 (36.2 km) Well … Today was one of those special days. It started well, got better, then fantastic, and ended mindbendingly awesome. So, just a disclaimer: this is going to be a photo post – and I really had to cut down on them. We both got up at …
Miles 1038.6 – 1052.9 >>> 14.3 (17.0 km) So, as mentioned in the post yesterday, the morning was absolutely stunning. For me, the awesomeness actually began in the middle of the night. I woke up for some reason and it was absolutely amazing to look up at the sky. This huge black blanket, full of …
Miles 1052.9 – 1066.5 >>> 13.6 (21.9 km) We got up and left the house in search for breakfast. On our way into town, we passed a little corner cafe called Wildwood Crossing. We ordered coffees and a breakfast burrito each. Oh, they were good. After that, we rolled back on to the street and …
Miles 1066.5 – 1094.2 >>> 27.7 (44.6 km) We were lazy this morning and slept in a little. It was worth waiting though, since the sunrise from our campsite was nothing but spectacular. We took our time having breakfast and packing up, but eventually got under way. It turned out to be one of those …

Miles 1094.2 – 1121.3 >>> 27.1 (43.6 km) We started the day with coffee. One of the few luxuries I always carry, because why the heck not? This gave us ample time to watch the sunrise, which, of course, was gorgeous. Well, we were up and going by eight. Every now and then it’s nice …
Miles 1121.3 – 1151.4 >>> 30.1 (48.4 km) It had been a great night. Jerry, the mouse, had not got into our food. It had been wonderful to wake up in the middle of the night and stare up into the beautiful night sky. We were lazy again, had coffee, and weren’t back on the …
Miles 1151.4 – 1151.4 >>> 0.0 (0.0 km) Oh yes. Town day! Our friend’s, who we’d spent the previous evening with, had broken camp before sunrise and were gone by the time we were up. Instead of me taking out the stove and preparing coffee, it was just: pack up and off to the gas …
