Day 27 Camino Recorder

Shit.  I was awake at 4:30 a.m. thinking about the 16 plus mile hike today and fumbling around my home getting ready.  I was looking for any possible detail to prevent me from heading out the door.  Then I thought about all the times in my life when I got ready to get ready and never did anything.  My hiking shoes were still wet from two days ago.  I drove 60 miles to Menomenie, WI and thought about my wet shoes.  This was not the day to start off on the wrong foot.  It didn’t take long and soon my wet shoes were a non-issue, since the first 8 miles were in a driving rain.  The last 8 miles I could cut the humidity with a knife.  The trail seemed to go on forever.  I made it and it was a great walk and a great day.  Just go.

 

This day in honor of Gottfried Ransmayr.
