Mile 589
6 June
I have decided to call this portion of our hike simply ; EATING for our insatiable yearn for food and eating in any circumstance. We have found that the amount of food that we can eat throughout a day; not in one sitting is frightening. We eat and hike all day go to sleep and dream of waking up so we can eat more. We burn from 4000-6000 calories out here and only consume 1500 on a good day so you do the math. I think sometimes that the action of just lifting my spoon or fork is burning all the food that I am eating in that single moment; I'm done then 1 hr later I am starving smh just doesn't make sense.
Short day, 13 miles and it rained on us ever minute smh. Recently Most of my end of the day hard miles are consumed by me listening to audio books that Leif introduced me to while hiking. We made it to town around 1pm and put a laser beam on dairy queen; where the three of us
( Koda 2 ) consumed lunch and ice cream as if someone was gonna take it from us, all the while apologizing for the way we smelled To staff lol.
Things are simple out here to the point where you appreciate a nice restroom in a store or restaurant and announce it to other hikers as Legit.
The only variables out here are what you are willing to tolerate. Me? Well I draw the line at being cold. I told leif if someone ever told him i died of heat its a cover up, But if i was ever found frozen to death it a fact. If I was ever captured by an enemy the only thing they need to do is stick me in a freezer and all top secret info I know is there's lol.
