Daily Reflections:
Checking the water situation is crucial—today I had a two-hour dry struggle. My allergies are acting up, making it hard to breathe while hiking uphill. Despite these challenges, the birds sang me to sleep, a comforting sound in the wilderness. Mosquitoes still love me, and I found two ticks, one of which was enormous and reddish. Despite these nuisances, the beauty of the journey keeps me going.
