From William Ewart's journal:

Rain ended about time I left the hilly, lumpy weed field morning's campsite. Passed through Sulfur Well - used to be a boom town but now only a store and a cafe remain. Curley-Q fries. Tish and Sharon had the last 2 pieces of fantastic pecan pie - Sharon gave me the last several bites of hers!!

Last 6 miles limping noticeably (continuing foot arch problem). Tim and Tish both expressed glee that pain had reached the hard cores. Joking of course. Rough day - limping uses up more energy than unhindered walking.

To camp and a bucnch already had some beer - formed tent-setting-up crews - six helping Scott. Shellie, Dave B, Linda S, set up mine for me.

At least 60 degrees today!! It is February isn't it??
