There was a great deal of pain and suffering I had to endure to do this thing, and by that, I don't mean it was terribly painful or that I suffered horribly. It was just that for almost the entire 8+ months I was on the road, there was almost always some degree of low-to-mid level pain or discomfort I had to endure, whether it was painful knee joints, burning muscle strings, extreme temperatures, soggy clothing, noisy stealth camps, etc., etc. Of course, this was all amply offset by the incredible sights, new friends, and sense of accomplishment I experienced along the way. So, 'yes,' it will be sad to finish, but I will be a lot more relaxed and comfortable, too, and that ain't bad! ;~Donobi_donkenobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019202392685910731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779706520717729153.post-88478228791560335052009-11-02T09:32:43.071-08:002009-11-02T09:32:43.071-08:00So, Don, as you are approaching the final leg of y...So, Don, as you are approaching the final leg of your journey, are you feeling a little saddened or can you just not wait to be home again in your own warm bed?sgsekohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267295580633454363noreply@blogger.com
