Food Poisoning, Beat Up Body, But Hey, It's Worth It!

Hello Everyone!  I am in Dubois, WY, and I am doing well, in spite of what I titled this blog entry.  Yes, I think I suffered food poisoning somewhere in Yellowstone.  I am not sure where I got it, but I managed to hike 60-miles, despite feeling like poop.  You can read more about it on my trail journal entry here.

I got to Dubois, and the first thing I did was lay down.  My legs are trashed.  I've been hiking for 11-days straight, and I really prefer a sabbath in there after 7-days, so I am hoping that will happen after my next stretch through the Wind River Range.

I am still having the time of my life.  The pace of the hike is comfortable, and I am surrounded by a bunch of great people.  Everyone said that I will get lost on this trail, but I am here to say that I have not been lost.  On this trail, I am finding myself.  I love being outside, and I enjoy being in the wilderness.  It has its moments, but do we not experience moments in the real world too? 

Sometimes I feel like I have died and gone to heaven, and I pray for many moments not to end.  So I will continue to enjoy "paradise," and I will be sure to proclaim how great it is.
