Happy two week trail anniversary to me.
I’m now on the Pietown Road Walk Alternative. So far it’s a dirt road with dust, rocks, ruts, etc. almost like a trail, but for two. Oh and a 1500 climb too just to make you feel inadequate. You always need something brutal. And the CDT does a good job at that.
I also thought I’d show you my showerless poor old feet after two weeks of traipsing in the wilderness. The white adhesive tape was replaced tonight. Making it stand out against the filth. It helps keep my big toe from punching a hole in my one and only toe socks. So I have an old blister on my left inside foot, another old blister on my right foot second toe, and a new blister on my left outside foot. I’ve also gotten some sort of rash on my left ankle. I assume it’s from some poison ivy I hiked through. Oh well these are all cosmetic and so far there is nothing stopping me from hiking. Mostly they are nuisances.
