Just some notes on trail

One of the coolest animal sightings happened the other day. We saw an owl. It silently flew from one branch to another and I saw it from the corner of my eye. We watched it for a few minutes and moved on.

On sept 7 we broke our record. We pulled a 32 mile day into crater lake. We consider Oregon the promised land because a lot of hikers say thAt compared to everything else we've climbed over it's flat and so far we haven't been disappointed.

Shilo (James' dog) joined us on the trail at highway 3 (right outside of etna, ca) when my sister came to see us. So far she is doing great! We are only planning on taking here through Oregon though so that if the weather holds and we have a chance of finishing we can book it to the border.

There are a bunch of fires so we might have to skip around some sections since road walking doesn't sound like fun.

Location:On the trail in Oregon

Oregon!

We made it to Oregon on the 31st of august! We're taking a day off and then will then we're going to push big miles to get to cascade locks. Right now were still hoping to finish the trail even if it takes till mid october. We are behind the pack but we have high hopes. James and I are really enjoying ourselves and we're a little sad that it may be coming to an end if the weather changes.

I just got this new app so that I can upload blogs on my iPod so I think I'll be able to up date this a little easier.
