Last real training hike complete: 16.3 miles, “fully loaded”. It was amazing to feel the real weight of our first day and get close to the mileage we are aiming for. The hike was pretty insufferable for the first six miles due to high winds, but the wind eased up and we were able to push through. Can’t wait for that California sunshine!

Plus, we made a coyote friend today. Felt like a good omen and a little piece of Muddy with us on our first training hike without him.
