Hike for a Hospital

I have have a great few days on the trail walking through high desert and forest. Ive been walking shorter dayss to rest my legs a bit. On Thursday arvo I hitched from mile 58 on the trail back to lakeorena for the kick off party. After 4 nights of intense partying I am going back on the trail in 10 minutes time. I'll post a more complete post about the last few days once I get reception again!
