Day 5 (Mar. 26th) – 7.4 miles. Lance Creek Campsites to Neel’s Gap (Blood Mountain Cabins). Rained all night last night, but stopped in time for us to pack up this morning. Misty and foggy all day. Blood Mountain kicked my butt today! My legs were very exhausted going up, coming down though steep and boulders galore was better. Greg did great though he says very challenging too. If anyone needs a challenge, this is it! We are happy to be living our dream. At cabins tonight with another couple and we are choking down on pizza now. Soooo yum!!
Glad you persevered and stood up to the challenge!…..Overcoming the tough climbs And descents can make you all the stronger if you get some decent rest and recovery!…..We are excited to follow your progress on the trail!…..Be safe!
Thank so much Rick!
Don’t choke it down, chica, didn’t your mother ever tell you that?! LOL – unless it’s very BAD pizza and then you have every right. I suspect, though, that anything semi hot tastes pretty good right about now!
Haha. Too tired to not make typos.
Hi you guys!!!!! do you have a touch of oil to rub on each other’s legs and feet and hands and arms? Sending loving and thoughts of strength and beauty……..
No – the scent could attract bears. Plus we don’t have enough energy at the end of day for what that might lead to (lol). 🙂
Bet that pizza really hit the spot! So glad to be following along and it sounds like you guys are doing great. Keep up the good work!
Carry on!!! You guys are living life to its fullest every day. Steady as she goes all is well!!
