As I write this post, it's currently Saturday June, 9th. I've been out on the trail for about a month and a half. It's been quite a long time since my last post and a lot has happened. I've entered the Sierra Nevada mountains and have completed all 700 miles of the desert section.
My feet have been saved! Since my last post, I've gotten new shoes, which very surprisingly are a full size larger. I went from a 10.5 to an 11.5! It's insane how much of an impact swelling can have on your body.
The first 100 miles of the trail have been exceedingly challenging. More so than I had initially anticipated. I learned that my shoes are way too tight and that I’ll need a new pair.
Our awesome granola baker Brian is taking a trip of a lifetime. Starting April 18th, he'll be hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, which is over 2,600 miles long and stretches from California to Washington!
