I passed through the storied arches of Amicolola falls at 9:30 this morning at arrived at Mile marker (MM) .2 on the App Trail at 5:30 this afternoon. Not much progress for 8 hours? Oh, there was 8 miles of approach trail in between lol.
Not gonna lie it was a smoker - with the help of some good Warriors and the Lord- I made it and got all of my chores done. Set up tent, filter water, cook supper and figure out a cranky zipper on my bag.
Oh, it got below 15 degrees tonight and hopefully I'll make with just what I carried!
Day 1 was a success for this 55 year old fat dude with an artificial hip. But tomorrow holds some new challenges.
Gotta pick up some salonpas heat/pain patch. Will keep that booty warm at night and help ease your back aches. Looking good old man!
🙏🙏🙏
I’m praying for your safety and persistence!! You and God will most assuredly have some amazing moments! Love you, friend.
Proud of you! Keep going!
Way to go!!!! Looking good after a long day. May you wake up ready for the long day tomorrow.
