Our first segment is wrapped up without much incident. The trail has been gorgeous, I've attached a few pics. I'm a little sore, paul's doing okay. Thanks Nellie for the arnica and tiger balm and thanks Sandy for the suggestion of the walking stick. Both have helped. Should be in etna in a week.
After starting the wrong way we have turned around and are now back more or less on schedule. We turned a 64 mile section into an 84 mile section that was just as nice. Pack thieves almost got us at a water stop, but jen fought them off and we were not left lonely. All else is good.
We're hitting the trail today after too much fun in Sacto and OR. Only 5-6 days to seiad valley. Thanks to all who helped us get here so far!

Turns out it takes longer to get ready for this type of trip than one might think. But a couple of harried days later than we planned all the boxes are packed and we're past LA so we're really on our way.
House is full of boxes, foos ball table is covered in dried veggies. The dried mango is fabulous, dried cauliflower ok, dried pasillas searing.
