Crossbearer's Log:
Today was one long, steady uphill climb from mile marker 83 to mile marker 96.5 for a total of 13.5 miles. The uphill incline did not slow me down because it was not so much steep as it was just that the uphill lasted today's entire walk.
My feet were hurting from wearing my new pair of shoes yesterday, but they started to feel better roughly four miles into the walk. It was a fairly easy day as I averaged 18:45 min/mile. I'm hoping by the time I make it to the Midwest hot summers, I can average 17 min/mile and get off the road before the day's weather hits the 90s. The best news for today is that I am 22.5 miles from Battle Mountain. I should be nine miles out by tomorrow and five miles beyond Battle Mountain by Saturday, then I'll be on my way to Elko, Nevada.
