Day Thirty-Four

Friday, May 11, 2018

I try to stay as up-to-date on the blog as I can, but it's all WiFi-permitting. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Crossbearer's Log:

Left Cold Springs Station Resort after a three-day stay. Started walking at 7:15 A.M, and the first two miles were spent climbing approximately 500 feet. The rest of the day had as many ups and downs as a roller coaster. 

The first two miles were also cold and I wore my rain jacket. At mile twelve, the sleet came -- stayed for twenty minutes. The sleet brought the cold and I had to put my rain jacket back on. Did not stop walking because I wanted to finish sixteen miles before Laura showed up.  

Finished the day approximately eleven miles from Austin, Nevada after five hours and ten minutes, averaging under 20 min/mile. 

Expecting snow tonight, might have a late start tomorrow.
