I'm Gonna Be 🎶

I got to the Green Valley Fire Station at the end of a 19 mile day. It was a rough one as I was still in pain and couldn't stop worrying about my shin. I dragged the day out as long as I possibly could by taking a ton of breaks. While I was filling up my water from a fire hose, a lady quickly pulls up in a car with Tom and Chef in the back. They start yelling at me to jump in. Terry gets out of the vehicle, gives me a hug, introduces herself and asks if I want to come to Casa De Luna. I explain that my tent and everything is all set up already but I really wanted to go. Tom and Chef jump out and help me rip my tent down and throw all of my gear in the back of the car in less than three minutes. I've heard about this trail angels house for so long but I knew that it was closed this year so I never bothered to look up where it was located. I was surprised!

A moody morning on the trail and a lil lizard that made me smile 🙂 I think the flowers are prickly poppies!

Welp. Ended my streak of five zeros in a row at the Acton KOA. Still hurting, a little swollen, and feeling defeated but playing it day by day for a while. Every trail has had a rough patch for me. I think this is the one I'll have to get through on the PCT. Super thankful I was able to see @blazephysio for help with what to do.

I find it hard not to get angry when an older person makes a comment about me hiking while I am young. One of the most typical things said to me is "That's so nice you are doing this all when you are young!"

I am very aware of my body.
