JOURNAL ENTRY

Natt and I began walking through Fishlake National Forest, realizing this would be a sixtyfour mile day. There were signs that warned of grades up to 9 degrees.

We began without a great plan, other than to walk. Realizing we hadn't packed a lunch, we stopped in at a sandwhich shop. The lady gave us each a sandwhich, bag of chips, a bottle of Gatoraid and a Snicker - the candybar.

Along the path to the summit we passed a coral snake, a small bear, a mountain goat and a lot of deer. As we climbed higher and higher, the temperatures dropped. We added layers of clothes that would still prove insufficient.

After returning to Beaver, we had to find
a way to get back to the truck. A fomer
Marine with a son in the Navy (how did that happen -- patriotism) gave us a ride. On the one hand, he acknowledged he didn't want to and then stood fast on his offer. That really is what Patriots do! This reference isn't
really about helping this crew walking
across America, it is about the broader
issue. Patriotism isn't when Americans
do what they want but do what they
feel is best for the country.

I realized, all too well, the recent days had been so filled with trying to play, "catch-up" on our miles I had done little else. The couple of web pages you come to next will bear this out. I regret not having the time to do them justice.

Beaver, Utah
Sometimes we get so caught up in our hate for big oil
we forget the wonderful people that work for
these companies. Thanks for your help, guys!

Surewood Forest (I checked the spelling)
makes individual and custom candles!
They had no website, so I guess people just
come in or call. It is filled with great stuff!

This totem stands along the road that becomes
153 that goes into the National Forest.
