Working on Plan B

Jake likes the turn of events more than we do. The packs were ready to go aboard with us and the little duffel ready to carry our walking sticks, scissors, and liquids in checked luggage. Three weeks of everything we need in a small pile. Jake was eyeing it.

As it turned out, he needn't have worried. We had to cancel the trip at the last minute because my passport had fewer than 90 days remaining to the expiration date. Now that is a bad mistake.

Luckily all the training has its own payoff. We got strong and had many lovely training walks in the woods. And, we parred our pack weights down to 13.5 and 16.5 pounds. We won't lose those packing lists.

 

 

We are not yet recovered from the shock of not starting to walk tomorrow. We had some really interesting looking places lined up to stay.

 

We are working on Plan B. Maybe in September we will do the walk we planned for now. Or, maybe we'll volunteer as hospitaleros in September or October and reconsider this walk in a year.
