4/7-9/18; Days 73 to 75 (36 Miles)

 

After a rest (and laundry) day, we began our second three day walk.  Day One was still unseasonably cold (in the morning it was below freezing) and we are battling persistent blisters.  However, it was sunny and much less windy – we found several sunny spots to take our breaks.  Overall, we are starting to get into a routine.

Day two was perfect weather.  Cold but no wind and sunny.  And we had the luxury of sidewalk/bike path most of the way.  While that might not sound exciting, it truly is.  Not having to dodge cars and navigate narrow shoulders is much more relaxing.  The only down side is that Mike and I continue to develop new (or expanding) blisters.  Mike’s feet are pretty battered – he’s up to 8 separate bandaids.  We should purchase stock in bandaids – we go through boxes like crazy!

Day three started with us brushing snow off our cars, but because the temperature was above freezing it melted quickly and basically disappeared before we began walking.  Most of the walk was cloudy and cold but not freezing.  Not much in the way of scenery, but for the third day in a row, we came upon a fast food place to take our long break so we could warm up.  Walking was difficult for Mike because of feet issues but we made it.  Looking forward to a day off tomorrow.
