Day 137-139 (PNT 42-44)

Trail brothers

It was a good reunion getting back together with my friend Hammer. After hiking a thousand miles of the PCT together last year, we hadn’t seen each other in over a year. Yet, he’s still one of my best friends. The relationships you develop and bonds you make while on trail really are special.

It was a really fun weekend, and I even learned how to wake surf after smacking my face in the water about 30 times. The pure joy I felt when I was finally able to stand up was something special. I can’t remember the last time I felt that pure ecstasy from accomplishing something new after bashing my head against the wall and failing repeatedly.

It was real. It was fun. It was real fun. Thank you Wynne family
