Day 7: Mary today, gone tomorrow?

Well, the big news of the day is that Mary feels like she's had enough for now. We're going to sleep on it for a day while we look at options to get her home. We've talked it through, and it's a big, teary decision, but her health and safety comes first. If she goes home, I plan to continue on once I've seen her safely on her way, and she may fly to Virginia in September to meet me at the other end.

While this news may trump any of my missed posts, I still plan to fill in the backdated gaps, as capturing the story of this trip is an integral part of the journey for me. I expect to post more shortly, so please check in again soon.

The fickle fates of wifi

Due to the vicissitudes of travel and the vaguaries of locall wifi spots, it's been hard to get much posted. I've written plenty and taken many photos, and will post them as able. Meanwhile, we're still alive and crawling forward. We took a slow day yesterday, and camped last night outside Twisp, in preparation for Loup Loup, the next big pass.
