The heat of the Colorado desert has been a challenge for my feet. I have spent all of yesterday and today resting and healing my feet.
The family that runs the Mountain Valley Retreat has been wonderful. Their kindness has overwhelmed me. I have been sleeping in a tipi that was painted by Chery.
I got to clean both myself and my clothes. I have had kitty cats keeping me company. Tonight I will be fed a delicious home cooked meal. Tomorrow morning they will drop me off at the trail head where I left the PCT to walk to their oasis.
It has been a very quiet 2 days. I have spent my time organizing my gear and reading. I am ready to start walking again. I have completed 101.1 miles of the PCT, 3.8% of the total trail distance. I look forward to what the next 100 miles has to offer.
I showed Sonja your pictures. She says "there was a kitty where we was camping, too!" (We were in PA this weekend camping and rock-hunting) Sonja was excited to hear that you are "camping and taking walks in the woods just like us do!" She cannot comprehend the real scope of your adventure :)
