Big Time Prayer Request!


Stupid me tried to keep up on the PA rocks with a younger couple a few days ago and realized after 6 miles I had pulled something in my right hip.

I thought it was the hip flexor but now suspect the ITB which is the MOST common overuse injury.

I'm taking 2 days off in DWG at the church hostel and have lightened my pack to 25lbs.

I'll test my leg with 3-5 miles on Tue. If it's still a problem... I'll come back to the church and have Cindy drive 7hrs to get me.

I really don't want to be a victim of the PA rocks... or my stupidity, but God has a reason for everything.

Pray I remain joyful regardless of the outcome 🙏

    Praying that you "stay still and know I am God". For a few days. Remember, old body, young mind and spirit. Love you brother.

    Praying! “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.”

      And "need" is usually much different than our "want"

The Fickleys - Super Zero Day Hosts

Image
Meet the Fickley family... Thomas, Natalie and their 5 boys (ages 2-8) and baby girl! I don't even know how to begin sharing about the AMAZING generosity theses guys showed, but here goes... Several times, Thomas drove an hour on very steep roads to take me to and from Reids Gap. The first day, he literally rescued me after a 21 mile hike from hell.  He was incredibly flexible despite my being almost 3 hrs late. Natalie is a SUPERB cook!!! Her brothers had done the trail years ago, so she even knew to order me my own large pizza!  Thomas let me drink all his beer and grills a mean steak! The boys lavished me with praise for every magic trick... and you know how shy I am? They were so excited to show me all their Lego Star Wars projects. They have enough models to film the entire series! After a MUCH needed Zero Day, Thomas returned me to Reids Gap so I could slack pack the last 19 miles to Rockfish Gap where he then picked me up. The next morning (after consuming mass quantiti...

Zero Day at 4 Pines Hostel

Image
Spent the entire day chilling with Yogi, Squirrelly and Forest Lore'ist (see D49 post). She had shoes too small but got new ones today! The 3 call themselves Fellowship of the Oak. Wish I had half their energy! Here we are with Sprocket, caretaker (and Den Mother) for 4 Pines Hostel. It's like a commune and was a great place to spend 3 nights. I even made everyone waffles this morning. ... using eggs from their chickens!
