So on day 5 we had walked in the am then when we got to the new lodge we walked in the pm, so all told we walked 12 miles that day. By the end of the day I was tired, but worse I had blisters again. It was horrible we had more days of walking and my poor tootsies felt horrible. We went looking for moleskins, but the lodge store didn't have any (can you imagine a place were people come and hike regularly that a store wouldn't carry moleskin?)
So we decided Forks would have it. I was excited about seeing Forks expecting it to be this quaint little town all fancied up for tourists to get their Edward and Jacob fix. So we pull into Forks and it isn't at all how I pictured. Nothing was quaint or fixed up, except the signs - every single retail store said something about Twilight this or Twilight that and one sign offered to give you a tour of the one lane town. I know any self respecting vampire wouldn't be dwelling in that place - oh well. But I did get moleskin and bandaids to heal my aching feet.
So actually Day 6 was off to Seattle, the Clipper and Victoria. Timing was everything, so there I was fiddling with my phone that had no reception for the last 24 hours trying to get directions to the boat when I hear OH MY GOD. Thinking we are about to hit another car I look up and what do I behold - the most beautiful black bear make a mad dash across highway 101. That thing was moving so fast, but I was able to watch it cross. It was beautiful and I just wanted to go up and hug it. I am thinking of setting up a bear retreat, maybe even sleep with them. Think I will do better the Grizzly Adam?

You would have had to catch this guy before you could cuddle him. I think you need a few more months of training.
ReplyDeleteUnlike Grizzly Adam (who gave the grizzly indigestion), Tanya's bear would have the sweetest snack he would ever eat!
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't hit the bear since it would have been bad for ALL parties.
Yay, moleskin!
