Day 14 - Two Weeks by the Numbers

Combs Ridge, Mile 129 to Campsite in the Boulders, Mile 144

Two whole weeks down! Let's break it out by the numbers:

  • 14 days/2 weeks/336 hours
  • Two day zeroes
  • Two day near0s
  • 6000+ feet, highest elevation
  • 2000 feet, lowest elevation
  • 144 miles walked
  • 102 degrees - hottest day
  • 45ish times Brett's hit me with his hiking poles
  • 15+...20? 25? blisters. At least...I lost track how many
  • 13 episodes of Arrested Development watched from the trail
  • 6 snakes, 5 types: Gopher, Rattler, Long nose, Whip, and 2 King
  • 4 times cried
  • 3 times proclaimed that this was a stupid, ridiculous idea, and I'm going home
  • 2 towns visited/resupplied
  • 2 times noticed that my hip belt or article of clothing was a little loose (woot!)
  • 2 catholes dug (hooray for lots of established campsites so far...)
  • 2 bloody noses, ugh
  • 2 counties
  • 1 delicious burger (and one more tomorrow!)
  • 1 day of seriously difficult homesickness
  • Uncounted awesome views, and more cacti than I can fathom
