Day 11

Day 11: I shed some tears today. .
.
We were climbing over Rocky Mountain (mile 53.9) and the weather was perfection. Jacob and I were both taking photos and videos of all the plants and wildflowers and views. And I made the mistake, as I’ve done multiple times all ready on this trip, of listening to @lordhuron while all this is happening, and I was so overwhelmed with gratitude. .
.
.
Here I am, living out something I’ve dreamed of for 20 years, and listening to songs that have hyped up my desire to go on an adventure over the last few years like nothing else can (Lord Huron should be the official soundtrack of millennials’ road trips and travels to far off places) And I’m here with Jacob, lover of plants and woods and mountains, and he couldn’t be any happier. And my knee is feeling better with every step. So much good, I could not handle it. #at2019
