End of the trail...

Due to injury we are sad to say that after only about 120 miles, it is the end of the trail for us. We aren't sure what happened or just when, but Jeff tweaked his leg/ankle. We thought we could push through so started on trail on Tuesday only to find us barely making 4 miles in 8 hours on Wed. We didn't have enough water for that rate. I ended hwy hiking for help. We are disappointed, but happy for the experience and new friendships made. We have photos and stories to share-better than this blog! Our thanks to: Kei, Miriam, Bryan, Steve and Paul & Betty, and to all of you for your support & encouragement. We are still the happy hikers but are now also known as 'the Bald Guy' & 'PeeTree'
We love you!
