Sad day

Hesperia, CA - Mile 90 - Aug 20_th, 2018

Sunday turned into no funday. It was going well until I twisted my knee, not once but three times on narrow cliff side trails. Because of the location, I could not stop to camp and had to crutch my way about 4 more miles aggravating it more. Then Tyler, a new friend, offered me a ride but it meant a further 1 1/2 mile hike out, then his the search was on for a missing man and then Tyler’s truck got stuck in soft sand. I was finally about to get into town after an eventful and possibly tragic evening, because a deaf man also went missing there yesterday. It is possible to be proud of this and deeply disappointed. If I brought awareness to the Veteran Suicide Epidemic then I will consider that a success! Keep on Keeping On!
