Food and Fighter Jets

It’s hard to believe, but we are just a few days shy of four weeks on the trail. We are consistently hitting 20+ mile days now (we just finished a 98 mile stretch in 4.5 days). The rain finally let up, which has been a huge morale booster. Getting out of my warm sleeping bag and putting on wet socks hadn’t been easy in the weather we’ve had lately.

The motto of the week is FEED ME. I’m ravenous and feel like I can’t eat enough food to keep my stomach happy. I’ll be experimenting with a bihourly feeding schedule (ha) over the next few days to see if that keeps my energy levels from crashing at random intervals throughout the day.

Weird, unexpected trail thing: fighter jet flyovers on a semi-regular basis.

390 miles hiked. 2,292 miles til Mexico.
