TD 18 Zero Day!!

Whew, Another Zero Day what a relief.

having been out of contact with everything for a few days david filled me in on some important details.

  1. Zoey had her ballet recital and was beautiful and stunning. I knew this but was sorry to have missed it. But she wrote me a letter which Kandice, my lovely daughter-in law sent ot me via text.

2. Patrick, my younger son, and Hallie took Hatcher and Wyatt to the Pacific Crest trail segment near our homes in North Bend. Hallie took this picture

They told me the boys liked knowing they were on the same trail as Grandma Peggy!

3. Rick Rodrigez, from our church wrote and told us that the church had posted the PCT map and had a Peggy (AKA Runningbird) pin they moved in up the trail in sequence with my SPOT tracks.

Guys, with this kind of love and support, truly I am never alone!

To make today perfect we went a little way out of Acton and I got a new bandana (it has an elephant on it – though maybe a camel would have been better LOL). I also got a great new super light weight hat with a full brim. here is a picture of me modeling it.

The rest of the day is being spent on cleaning gear, organizing for the next segments and restocking food and clean clothes.

I am so grateful to you all for your comments and support, and I am so grateful to David!!

Last summer the Canadian border opened at Manning Park, BC. I walked the last 70 miles with a sense of joy and gratitude, the monument was crowded with people from all over the world, finally able to compete their dream. The summer of '23 was incredible for another reason. Lonely for the simple pleasure and renewing life of long distance trail hiking I decided to begin the Continetal Divide Trail ! I hiked from the south I-15 crossing to Canada (about 900 miles), experiencing windstorms, a blizzard, twice daily thunderstorms and days without seeing even a human footprint. I was hooked! Stay tuned as Wingman and I restart the blog chronicling the remaining 2100 miles of the CDT, from Mexico to Montana.

  2. Just found and caught up with your blog. I hope you enjoyed Acton as it is my home town. You likely saw Vasquez rocks today. Beautiful huh? Best to you, keep it up. You are killing it. Maybe see you on the trail in the Sierra soon.
