... the poisonous kind! Had to go REALLY slow and wear long pants

Here's a view looking back at Duncannon as I climbed back into the hills

And here's where I'm headed tomorrow

Saw Maui at camp who gave me his old gaiters... nothing like FREE stuff

Be praying for my right knee. Had surgery in 2020 and it gets really stiff at night.

    So glad that you are continuing to make great progress. We remember how cold it was that night on day 63 the day that we met you "oh wizard" . Keep up with the effort and take care of yourself.
    Regards,
    Peter and Ann from South Africa

The Fickleys - Super Zero Day Hosts

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.

Zero Day at 4 Pines Hostel

I even made everyone waffles this morning. ... using eggs from their chickens!
