Eugene

Eugene or 5/29/12 After woodburn I spent 2 nights is Salem,1 night in Monmouth then 3 nights in Corvallis. The last 2 nights here w/ a old global walk friend, from my first walk in 1990. Will stay in Eugene 4 more nights w/ a heartwood friend from humboldt? My body, legs especially, are pretty dead and lifeless. Overextended myself on the first part of this walk. East into the national forest next week, then south into Klamath falls, arriving there on 6-14. Not sure of wireless connections once I head east. Onward and upward

Walkupy day 1

Walked 22 miles from the n.w. part of Olympia to a organic farm south-west of rochester, wa. I will spend 2 nights here and then proceed to centralia. this was a incredibly beautiful day to begin the walk and I take it as a good omen to set the tone for the positive nature of things to come. It was surely a blessing to be able to be out there today, to have the opportunity to be able to do this.
