Hawk Shelter
Julia posting again.
Peter arrived at Hawk Shelter on Sunday. Apparently it rained from 2 a.m. onwards and everything was damp in the morning.
He texted me on Monday just before 6 p.m., as he had one bubble on his phone. He was tired and having knee "issues". I have faith that will work out as it is early yet and his body is just getting used to the work. He says everything hurts, but again, I hope that will become "normal" and he won't mind after a while. And he did say it was "still fun!"
It had rained Monday morning but it was sunny when he was texting me.
Here he is at Hawk Shelter:
You can follow the weather all along the trail by going to the White Blaze Net.

Thanks, Julia.
ReplyDeleteI think Peter's body will adjust quickly to the new demands on it and hopefully the initial pain will soon be a distant memory.
I appreciate the updates so please keep them coming.
The photos are amazing and I first noticed them on Sunday afternoon.

I think his body will take awhile to get used to the hard work, and then it'll get easier. I bet he's sleeping well though!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love that he's blogging it. This way we can all live vicariously through him and not have to do it ourselves. :)
Thanks Graham and Zoom! Julia.
