This man is multi-talented!
My man made it!!!
I am so pumped for Jason! He made it all to way to Stehekin today-calling again from our new-found friends' home there. (Thanks Patrick!) I feel like I'm beaming over a child of mine or something; I'm just so proud of him. Especially after learning about the one group that left early, I'm thankful that all went well for him and he beat the odds. Praise God!! Wooo!
I'll pick him up tomorrow, let him rest a bit, and then surely we'll be off again!
Thank you for your prayers everyone!! Jason even mentioned a thank you, too. I didn't get a lot of details from him, so even I look forward to him updating the journal!
Cheers everyone!
Still awaiting Jason's return....
I've been following a group of hikers on the internet, who were hiking southbound from Stehekin. At some point, they should have intersected Jason, who again is going north to Stehekin. But I just saw today that they hiked out and are now in a town down the road from Steven's Pass! That means that they skipped a big portion of that section, and it makes me wonder why? And hopefully that Jason is all right out there...
In the meantime, I've been continuing to see improvement with my knee and heel, although not %100 better yet. I'm ready to get back out there though. And the weather is supposed to improve drastically this week so I'm really looking forward to what could be in store...
Keep praying for Jason, please! Thank you for that :)
I was cracking up when we went to town the other day, after I realized what we had just went shopping for....
Jason checking in @ Steven's Pass
Back on the trail!! Jason is anyways :)
Jason has mended well these last few days, minus the weird symptoms of nausea and headaches that lasted a couple of days. His shin isn't swollen anymore and he only experiences some pain every once in a while. So not quite %100, but good enough to be feeling the itch to get back out there.
I, on the other hand, feel like I need a bit more time to allow my knee and achilles heel to mend more. I've seen a marked improvement these last few days though...I'm able to go up and down the stairs without holding onto the railing, and my walk has much less of a limp.
We both felt so good the other day that we went to town and did some errands...and saw the new Twilight movie...thanks hubby :)
So we woke up nice and early this morning (ugh). It was sunny outside-what a great morning to get packed up and ready to get back out there!...We got in the car and started driving towards Steven's Pass...the clouds loomed in the distance...then the windshield wipers got turned on...then the speed of them got turned up...(why does it have to be like this?!) Memories from the first section come to my mind.
When we got going, the rain had slowed to a light drizzle, so that was good. I walked with Jason a couple of miles down the trail, then bid him farewell...He's going to have to deal with the elements without me...I'm going back to the sun!
Join me in praying for Jason! This is an awesome opportunity for him to be out there with his Papa-adventuring through the Glacier Peak Wilderness. He's hoping to make it to Stehekin, and maybe meet the group of Southbounders coming the other way. Then he'll come back to get me, and hopefully I'll be ready to head out again, and resume from Steven's Pass going south. We're flexible and up for what the journey is to be, though...so we'll see. He should have quite a story to tell when he's done :)
Here's some pics, as well as my doctored-up artsy shots from my stroll back to the car...
