Crossbearer's Log:
Today, I was looking forward to a good start. Start time 7:05 A.M., so far, so good. One minute later, a swarm of mosquitoes descended on me for the next hour. I called Laura after two miles to pick me up. During that time, I talked to my son, Daniel, and learned that I had ninety miles of dirt roads and trails where the Chinook would never make it. After 3.3 miles and hundreds of mosquito bites, I headed back to the hotel to reroute my course.
The best route I could find was through Middlegate with forty miles on dirt roads. I rerouted my pilgrimage back to Highway 50 and started on my way to Middlegate.
Started again at 12:45 P.M. which provided me with hot, dry weather and no shade anywhere to be seen. Kept a close eye out for rattlesnakes.
Attended 5 P.M. Mass at St. Patrick's, and afterwards, Fr. Antonio Quijano gave me a blessing. Beautiful, peaceful Church.
