Woke up last night to what I thought was the sound of thunder. When it didn't stop I realized it must be the fireworks on Tahoe.
It was slow going up Dick's Pass. One because I had cell service and tried to post to the blog. Then I figured I should check in at home after my stormy day yesterday. I also had to stop for all the magnificent views, the beautiful wildflowers, butterflies and birds.
I had lunch at Middle Velma Lake. It gave me chance to dry out my tent. It didn't rain last night but I had a lot of condensation.
Most of the afternoon was spent hiking through forest. I had one deer bound across the trail in front of me.
Didn't see too many people today and started feeling kind of lonely. Then I remembered it was Sunday and realized God was walking with me. It made for a very peaceful hike. I actually took time to enjoy the beauty around me.
Wow Mel, what a realization that we never are alone even when we feel lonely! Thank God! Keeping you in my prayers! Good luck! Kena
ReplyDeleteI know that trail loneliness, as I backpack alone too. Another thing that always makes be feel better is to look at the moon at night, and know my husband is looking at the same one. :)
ReplyDeleteThis follower is enjoying your walk. So, even though you are walking alone, you do have followers that are enjoying your journey. The lupines are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure! Godspeed. I was hiking up a steep trail outside of Haines Alaska yesterday and thought about all that you've been doing. You rock! Wish I could join you in Beldon, will still be in Alaska. Happy Trails!
