Limped into Warner Springs this morning.
KOKO has multiple open blisters on both feet and The Bald Guy has blisters that are doing "okay" but is suffering from extreme foot pain, even without a pack. The good news is this community center that is open for hikers as a fundraiser the the local FFA. Meals, showers, computers and just a great family atmosphere. This was needed for us, both mentally and physically.
The good news is we are being rescued by a friend of a friend. So, it's off to an RV for at least one "zero" day (day of no hiking).
Wish we had time to share photos, but our ride just pulled up.
We love hiking.
KOKO and The Bald Guy
Ouch! Good time to take a Zero and heal-up a little. Toe socks with another sock over them worked good for me, plus a larger shoe toe box. Wishin' you well Jeff-n-Sue, saw your article in the local paper, I'm from Tillamook. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for following & commenting. Looking forward to meeting you when we get home. Maybe start a PCT club?
DeleteThanks for suggestion. I haven't like toe socks in the past but may revisit the idea. Something's gotta change though!
KOKO
Get some rest. Call when you can :)
ReplyDeleteCan't even think of talking to you & yours w/o getting all teary and homesick...miss you so much. LOVE your messages, please keep 'em coming!

So sorry to hear those blisters upon blisters got worse! Hope you heal up fast! And Keep On!!
ReplyDeleteWe were the 2 SOBO section hikers - met you Saturday, (I am bald too- but not as much as Bald guy :)
Patti & Lynn (now we are Glow in the Dark and 3 guy)
Take care my friend. May God bless you with the healing you need to make the rest of the journey. All my love to both of you! :)
ReplyDeleteOuch! Take enough time to let them heal, and be grateful for old friends, or friends of friends. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSaw mom today and she's doing well--enjoyed the letter and phone call (?). ;-)
Love you both, don't push beyond what your feet are ready for or you'll be slow and miserable for a very long time, instead of a little slower for a few days!
love you much!
