Day 82 - The Longest 13 Miles - June 26
The blister on my right foot hurts so bad that I can feel when the wind blows on it. This is the foot I have to walk 13 miles on today over point volcanic rocks.
Really the less said about this day the better. It's crazy how terrible a walk on a beautiful day can become when every step sends a stab of pain up your leg. I guess I should be glad there's no snow. I think I'm going to throw these boots in the hiker box. If I don't burn them first.
It took me all day to hike those 13 miles. I was so glad to get to Burney Guest Ranch around dinner time. They had burritos for dinner, which you made yourselves so I could make it vegan no problem. I ate two. I set up my tent in a shady spot. My packages were not there yet. I knew I needed to go into Redding tomorrow anyway. Ian had made me an appointment with a lab there to have blood work done. This is for a discount on my health insurance. If the test shows I'm healthy, I get to save $150 a month on my insurance, which is worth the trip. I also had to fast until the appointment at 2 pm, which I was not happy about. I need to be feasting when I'm in town.
