    My Trip Reports
    Been a tough week on the "trail" since last wednesday. Thursday morning, I had to bail to a hostel in Big Bear Lake, CA because I tried to walk through some shin splints. Instead, I felt like I took a shot from a sawed off shotgun directly to my right leg. I've been layed up now for 5 days, and getting restless...

    Hoping to be back out there on Wednesday, but the discomfort is still pretty substantial. Just trying to stay positive.

    Good stuff from last week though, crossing the San Jacintos.

    Is anyone besides me waiting for an update? I check his blog everyday. I hope that all is well and he is just out of cell range.

    Oh how I wish I could go for a walk right now - a nice long walk.

    hey felicia, sorry i've been without email and internet for a couple weeks. everything is all good though! just mentally wearing down, taking a few rest days in tahoe with my brother. probably back at it again in a few days.

    the blog is now current through day 83.

    Great picture update Dan!!
    Is it safe to say, that this trip will become increasingly fun as years pass on from now?

    What a nice little trek you are making. Just looking through the pics makes my feet hurt something terrible.

    Your posts and emotions in your text motivate me to do something similar to this one day - a self-exploration hike if you will.

    Safe journey!
