It’s been a nice break. Though driving home through the mountains we were supposed to be hiking made us a little sad. As beautiful as they were, I couldn’t bring myself to take any pictures. We will return and take pictures from the trail as we indented to in the first place.
Since coming home to recover from my injury, I saw my Doctor. She’s pretty sure I have an Achilles Tendinitis that might flare up again on the trail, but I’ve got better tools to deal with this if it does. It’s feeling better since I’ve been resting and treating my injury so I’m hopeful there’s no problems getting started on the trail again.
We were very fortunate that while we were home we had the chance to participate in the 2019 Boston Muckfest with our team, “Bennie and The Jets.” Ben ran in the race with the team and I took pictures. Everyone did a great job.
Ben, killing it on the obstacles!
We also rescheduled Ben’s infusion of his therapy medication to our home hospital. 5 more weeks and we’ll have to schedule his next treatment off the trail.
After coming home and seeing our dog, Meadow, again and how depressed she was without us, we’ve now decided to bring her with us. She’s going to have to learn to be a “hiking dog” again. This is just what she’s going to have to do to be with us like she wants to be. As spoiled as she is (lol) we’ve got her new boots for rocky terrain, a bigger rain jacket, and we’re going to carry her food instead of having her carry it all. Hopefully this will have her enjoying her hiking experience with us.
So that’s it. One last night in our own bed and it’s off to the trail tomorrow.
Sorry for the short break everyone. Hang on for some great pictures as you’re about to see all the trees and flowers start to bloom going forward from here.
