A great hike

Day 1465 - a beautiful day and a little challenging hike. We combined two segments into one day of hiking and now we are a little sore but very happy we did it this way. The vista was amazing. Lush green meadows running water in a make shift creek, wild flowers in bloom and above us blue skies and a warm sun. Warm just enough for a pleasant day but not too much to make it hard to walk. We had a very serious mountain to climb and later descend and that was a very challenging part and we did it much faster than planned, part of the reason for all the aches later. But it's ok, pain is temporary and I'm sure by tomorrow we'll be just fine. All we need is a good night sleep. I am thankful to be back on the trail. I am so thankful we managed to do segments 4 and 5 today; a real achievement for sure.
