A bump in the road, as my good buddy Michael put in a note to me.

A great newborn Trail Angel, Jessica, drove me down to Rancho Cucamonga and at the local Fleet Feet it was determined the easiest course of corrective action without a whole shoe system paradigm change would be to step up the Super Feet insole I use from blue to green: deeper heel cup. There are still fundamental body issues, but if a simple orthodic fix is the answer...great.

I’ve also made decisions to push into Wrightwood and TBD to Acton ... stop by stop ... to Tehachapi. See how it all goes.

I’ve also made the decision to at least end the PCT before KMS. Visit friends in Montana, North Carolina, and Ohio. Family in Florida. Wwoof in Upstate New York. Possibly stop in Fort Collins. Might as well do it all. Maybe rent that car and do a bit of scenic driving and short day hikes.

Okay. More logistics to plan and prep before tomorrow’s out.
