Today was rough. 14.7 miles. 34,000 steps. Straight as an arrow. Flat as a pancake. It was really boring. The one saving grace, my host at the B&B drove me to the trail and helped cut off about 4 miles from the walk. I would have gone crazy if I had to walk 19 miles today.
Tomorrow is my last day. I’ll meet Shirley in Grand Rapids.
Bill on the Camino 
Bill, I’m happy to have provided you so many good days for your soul.
I hope you are able to let your dogs rest this weekend!
Finally, cows!
I really need more cow bell!
“a bad day for the ego, is a good day for the soul.”
Love it.
So do I. I first heard it when I was reading about the Camino last year. Tried to find the person who originally said it, and it’s not 100% clear, but it appears auther/spiritualist Michael Beckwith may have. Hope your ego and soul are both doing well.
Bill—food deserts are REAL: https://www.aecf.org/blog/exploring-americas-food-deserts. These deserts occur not only in remote communities but also in towns and cities. There’s a map in this article that shows deserts around the US. Lots of good thinking time on any trail, right?
