I’ve been pretty dehydrated for the last few days. The farther I walk south the hotter the days and nights become. I don’t want to eat because of the heat and a liter of water isn’t getting me as far as it used to. I ran out of water with nine more miles to go […]

The views are amazing, but it’s a little hot and dry. #AZT #sobo

After a brief time alone in the desert to reflect, I only had two unanswered questions. Just because it was possible to hike for the rest of my life, was that what I wanted to do with the time remaining? And, what does carrying a sage bundle say about a person? #gettinglost #AZT #sobo

Something Ate My Charging Cable
Something ate through my charging cord while I was taking a nap. Haven’t been able to use my phone much for the last few days. Not sure if that’s a negative or positive? #lazydays #wandering
