Lincoln and beyond – the walk

The last days I have been close to a group of three types. Craft, real and lucky. Making a similar mileage after benchmark and arriving in Lincoln at the same time. We all introduce ourselves at Roger’s Pass and Crafty asks a boy in a truck if he goes to Lincoln. He is! In addition, he is willing to take a walk. Beautiful! No thumbs are needed. The trip to Lincoln takes about 20 minutes and I can’t help thinking about what would happen to me. I am sitting in the bed of the types at the back of your truck. Probably death. Mr. Proténos.

It leaves us in a local restaurant, Lambkins. We all thank our driver and head for some food. Bacon cheese hamburger is my chance and did not disappoint.

That day earlier, Crafty asked me if I wanted to divide a hotel room with them. I said yes. That will be our next stop.

To the room

Walking around the city seems more difficult than along the way. All cars and pavement. I feel slow. We arrive at the room and at the beginning of shower rotations and make the decision to make two laundry loads. One for our clothes and a second for only socks. We all anticipate our socks in the sink or bathtub. This seems to be the main cause of our stench. Despite doing all this, our socks still smell a little after leaving the washing.

We sat eating snacks, drying equipment and updating with all telephone businesses. We have been out of service for a week. The room has three real beds and men and takes the floor. Time for bed.

Breakfast

I am awake at 6 am the next morning ready for food. A fast check let me know that the 7am are the first ones I can have breakfast. I get on my phone for a while, reading the scriptures and playing with a YouTube video. Lucky and Royal are awake and I invite you to breakfast, they accept. We walk to the same restaurant where we leave yesterday and we all get large amounts of food. He was lovely. The following has ended the grocery store for replenishment. After return to the hotel to gather our belongings and visit 11.

Delicious breakfast

We go to the city where Crafty gets a massive hamburger and I drink three chefs at the scapegoat restaurant and meet a hiker (sunglasses) that I have seen several times.

We update and chat outside for a while. Before leaving, the sunglasses tell me that he thinks this could be his last great path. His age, as well as the walk alone, is carried out on it. I tell him that I understand and that being a solo hiker can be hard. I empathize with her and let her know that she will be in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you find some people to walk and connect.

Relax outside

We all go to the Justo Highway through the service station to return to the height. Another hiker is walking in front of us and we feel bad that we are getting hooked in front of him. After only 10 minutes, a car stops, I ask if we could fit one more and he says safe. We shout at the hiker and he has been running. We take four hikers in the rear seat and one in the front. Later that day at the camp we talked to a guy who said after an hour to try to hook, approached someone at the service station and offered them money. Thanks to Jesus for quick hitch.

The flame alt.

In a distant, there is a comment at a road crossing that says you can walk to a flame ranch where there are magic of trails and camp. This is during a dry path with longer water carriers. I had seen someone on YouTube doing this alternative last year and it seemed a fun idea. The ALT starts with a 6 -mile walk of most gravel route. It is not the most exciting thing to walk. Around .6 In the future there is a spring had in pipes where Royal and Henry are receiving water. They shout me while almost happened with a headset in areas. We filtered water and take a break before continuing. The day is hot. The last mile about the road walk is very exposed and the heat is affecting me. I tell myself that this will not last forever and I will be there soon. The road crawls and continues until in the distance I see a barn with a cyclist. «I bet that is the place,» I think. When we approach, I can see people next to the porch. They assure us that this is the right place. On the porch is the «magic fridge», full of pop and sandwiches. I feel relieved to be out of the sun and basically put a sprite. Royal and I divide the last sandwich. The couple in the front had just come to visit the owners. They walked the path last year and after a wrong turn they found themselves erroneously in the call ranch.

The owners have been organizing cyclists since the 90s. There are camps and mini cabins. There is a shower, picnic tables, water, oh yes, and flames! The flames roam the property that is executed or placed in the barn. They look like a false animal.

Flames !!

Crafty shows me where we will stay. It is a red mini barn with 2 small bunk beds. I review it and decide that it is too hot and will be campaigning. There is food in the mini barn and fortunate attacks some spam and pop cakes for dinner. While I lay in my store later, I listen to the owner of talking to people who have not yet known. Ask if there is something they need. Explaining that there is no charge to stay here. They only ask him to pay him. Wow. What kind of kind and amazing people?
