Good news and bad!  As you can probably tell, we’ve made it 500 miles. Hoorah for us.  After a little research that I should have done sooner, I seem to have just about every symptom of Giardia. To add to the comedy of errors, it turns out that the antibiotic that we’ve been carrying for [...]

We just finished this weeks podcast, it should be up soon. We decided to take a nap for awhile and try to ignore all the gnats and biting flies that seem to have it out for us.   After Andy had me convinced he was getting better, he just took the first pill of our ermergency [...]

15 miles down and we’re going to do some night hiking. We might even make it to the aquaduct!

We awoke this morning to a major ant event. They had completely covered my shoes inside and out. These are not your ordinary ants, either. They are big, biting, insanely tenacious beasts.  After a couple hours we are mostly rid of them, but at some cost to both us and the colony. In the most [...]

We’re going to digest for a few hours and hope that Cindy’s eyes go back to normal. Then we’ll take the half mile journey to Subway to eat and lounge some more.

We’re usually not the kind of people to get excited about a McDonald’s. But this is a special case. Ten miles down and hopefully ten moe after dark. The next section is rough. Fifteen miles uphill and 22 between reliable water ources.
