The plan was to be walking by Saturday but I have come down with a cold. I have done a couple of RAT tests to make sure it wasn’t covid. Already starting to feel better. Now the plan is to be heading off on Tuesday, we will hit the tides just perfectly to get us up the Weiti River over to Stillwater. I have an app called Polar Steps which is designed to follow your every step and map it out. Both of our phones will be on flight mode 99% of the time. I am looking forward to losing the reliance I have using it all the time. Off to have a hot shower, I’m not sure how many more real showers I will have in the next few weeks. It is the one thing that I don’t like the idea of, having a cold swim in some little ankle deep stream or freezing cold lake. For Rowan it is pooping in the woods and biting insects. We are looking forward to being comfortable with being uncomfortable. So please think of us while you enjoy your comfortable daily existance.
