Day 1

Hauser Mountain - Mile 10 - May 22nd, 2017

I'm pretty tired so I don't plan to journal much. Here are some updates: I met a married couple ( Matt and Emily) on the bus to the trailhead and I've been hiking with them all of today. Despite all of our ambitions to hike a lot of miles, we maintained a slow and steady pace to minimize fatigue and risk of injury. Already we came upon a hiker ill-prepared for the rigors of the desert, resting with a companion near the 6 mile point. Other than those two, we saw one other hiker in the distance behind us, tho it is now dark and likely that he camped short of us.
I have a joy about this journey unlike any other journey I've undertaken before. Seeing that each mile I hike benefits a charitable cause makes me feel like I'm finally on an adventure about more than the stories I'm left with after it's all said and done.

Team Tobias is with you all the way; even if you walk just one mile. Somewhere I read:
"Our destination is a place,
far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
for some the journey's slow."
