Awwwww we miss you all!!! 🐶🐕‍🦺

Love your video updates and I eagerly await each and every one of them. You are my trail magic! You and Wombat are a gift to everyone following you and to those you meet along the way. And, you are a gift as I wish I was on the trails myself, even though they are just day hikes, but I need to rehab my shin splits that are quite painful at the moment. It’s my body telling me it can’t do where my mind what’s to take it! Aargh 😡 Im sorry 😢 re loneliness on the trail, and the challenge that presents to you. Big hugs to you and wombat.

Awwwwww that’s so kind of you!! Ah yes. I had shin splints at one point on this trip. That wasn’t pleasant!

Love the small towns in Mexico. I'm considering spending some time there to look into a retirement home. I begin my NoBo PCT hike next week so will be heading north a bit ahead of you and Wombat. At my age I don't expect much camaraderie on the trail but I know it will be life changing regardless of who I spend time with and how much solitude I have. All the best to you and safe travels!

Oh that’s exciting!! I hope you get off to a great start. As they say, getting to the starting line is the hardest part. I follow @packtoter here on KZread - he seems to have really positive interactions on trail as a “more lived person” 😅… and he has great advice so it might be worth taking a look at his channel.

Wonderful update. Trials and tribulations, including emotional ones, are a part of life during these solo outdoors adventures (my experience is only from bicycle tours), but these emotional storms also seem easier to deal with, because something as simple as a good night's sleep, a good cup of coffee or meal in a cafe, or a quick conversation with someone along the way seem to dispel them quickly. I would say they are easier to deal with than the emotional upheavals we may get from working in a stressful office environment for months or years on end. I'd probably want a little of both, though, just to keep some variety. Good luck on the next leg.

I couldn’t agree more. Though I think the background of being alert about my personal safety is similar to the stress of office life. It has a way of compounding over time.

@rnard Yes, I'm sure traveling alone as a woman, even with a dog, adds another level of insecurity. After I wrote my comment, I thought about why I felt this way, and I thought that we as a species have only lived a settled life for 10,000 years or so, following millions of years as hunter gatherers. Your current lifestyle is a bit like that of a hunter gatherer: Always on the move, never knowing for sure what's around the next corner, and finding things out as you go along. In a sense, it's what we're made for, but that doesn't mean it's all cream and strawberries. EDIT: And we humans ARE a social species, of course, we're not cats, so you do need that occasional human connection to stay sane, in the long run.

I would not complain about more cream and strawberries!

As a viewer I think we mostly think about the getting from one physical location to the next but given this video’s talk about saying goodbye to people who help you feel a human connection it made me wonder what the journey is about for you. You must have so much time to contemplate. I bet you’ve got tons of fascinating ideas developed over your time alone. Stay safe and have fun!

It’s about 1) closing a gender gap, 2) I’d be lying if I didn’t say the Ego of a world first, and 3) life. I’m growing and evolving the same as everyone else. 🤘

Great update Lucy 😊
