Today was definitely a success, albeit a slow one. The long steep downhill continued to take its toll on my legs. Despite my slow pace, I finished the hike back to Uncle Johnny’s.

Update: I reviewed my hike while working on my book. In two days, I covered 20 miles of trail with almost 5,400 ft of descent! Not too shabby if I say so myself. Definitely a success!
