Hard, hot and heavy.
i have been hinking for about 4 days since my last post and everything has been going realy good. the hiking has part has been hard but rewarding the last few days. the desert mountains are awsome and there have been a lot of great look out points along the way. matt w. almost steped on a rattle snake the other day and jumped about 5 ft. in the air. he was in front of me so i got a big kick out of it. (hahahah) EXTREAMLY HOT! the heat has been so bad the last few days that we had to pull off the trail and take a day to rest, hence my updating this now. and being that it has been so hot we have been carying about 6 lt. of water, which is realy heavy and not what one wants when faced with a climb of 3000 ft. but whatever, if there no chalenges in ones life, there can be no victory, and a life without victory is empty and blank. so we will drive on in this brain-boiling heat with visions of the sierras dancing in our heads. only 560 more miles of the desert...

Oh my goodness, 560 more miles of this extreme heat?! If you want a ride to the sierras you just call and we will pick you up! Of course the year you decide to do this California would have an early heat wave! What was the fate of the rattle snake? Did you guys go around it or roast it for dinner? Is the other Matt still traveling with you?
ReplyDeleteLogan misses you and so does his mommy! About every other night he prays "Please help me not to miss Uncle Matthew". He's going to be very excited to see you in Yosemite =) Stay cool and call us soon =) Love you! Rebekah
Glad to see you guys are still at it. Matt W. Sure does have quite the hippy beard going. I really wish I could meet up with you guys somewhere down the trail, but I am probably going to be in Germany very soon. See you when you guys get back.
