It is great to read your comments and see the wonderful photos. I'm really hoping the weather settles down for you! First 100 done...now just do that another 25 times. Woot Woot!

Great blogging! Even though it's a challenge to get the info into your blog using a tiny cell phone, you're doing a wonderful job communicating your journey with all of us reading your progress. As you can see from other comments, we enjoy your wordiness. Thanks for keeping in touch so I can worry a just a little bit less. Love the pictures - everything is so vast there. Hoping that Mother Nature helps you out on the trip but I know you're prepared for weather after living in Spokane and Washington most of your life. Big hugs, love you.

Please do not rein in the wordiness on account of your readers, because this is incredible content & as long as you feel like writing it, I’ll be reading it as will I think a lot of others.

Excited to hopefully learn more about enigmatic figures like the Frenchman (or maybe not, his current aura of mystique is captivating).

One question comes immediately to mind: how does Caveman plan to stave off the dysentery?

I love all of your “wordiness”! I am also enjoying all of the pictures. I am there in spirit encouraging you all the way. I’m so happy that you are able to share this experience with people from all walks of life. (Pun intended 😝) I am also glad that you have experienced hikers to share their experiences. Sounds like you will meet so many kind and generous people along the way. It sis good to read that you are listening to your body and taking rest when you need it. Hopefully the storms will subside soon. I am so incredibly impressed. Thank you for checking in with your mom. She is sharing with me. I look forward to your next post. Take care. 😘 Ninang

You've got me feeling inspired to get out for an overnighter asap. I didn't end up winning the Wonderland permit lottery but I'll be planning some longer trips this spring/summer so I can keep up with you for a few days in Washington. Keep the posts coming, they're great reads!
