Woke up at about 6am in the hotel room, shaved my head, took my last shower for a while and grabbed breakfast from the lobby. Everyone packed up their new food resupply, took care of backpacking chores and we all met at the rental truck around 1030. We did rent a truck for the couple... Continue Reading →
Tramly decided that it would be best to rest for a few days. We all had our own hotel rooms, life is good again. Free breakfast in the morning.

We are all learning hard lessons on not eating properly while on trail. Hard to explain, but most of us aren't hungry after walking all day and that... Continue Reading →
I woke up early and packed up. Its was a sad morning as one of our tramly members had to leave to head back to his job for a few weeks. It was kinda hard to say goodbye, as we have walked 100 miles together, camped and done a lot as a group. He will... Continue Reading →

After a full night's sleep I woke up feeling a lot better. At first I thought the sun had risen but it was just the moon... damn. I sat in my tent for about another hour before the sun rose just enough to provide background light. I packed up my bag and was on trail... Continue Reading →
