I hiked the WCT, but it took me a month


Today is June 29. This is my mileage for the month. 77.4 km. The WCT is 75 km.
So there you go. I can walk 77 km. Therefore I can handle the WCT. A thought that plagues me morning and night. Now let's see if I can handle it in mud, rain, sand, across sea surge channels, up and down immense and vertiginous (it's a word)  ladders while sleeping on the ground every night and eating dubious food that comes in a package and carrying everything I might need for a week all with the potential threat of bears, cougars and mice.

WHY AM I SO EXCITED????

Look a the gem I found in Fish Creek Park yesterday! Wild strawberries. There is nothing better than sun-warmed fruit. The Saskatoons were definitely more plentiful and I ate my fill before finishing my walk. So much delicious.
