I am more than 2 weeks in, the half way point is less than 2 days away. I have walked over 229 miles so far. All good. Only blemish is a small blister on my left big tow. My feet and joints are all great. My left shoe is very squeaky. I think the bottom plate is broken, but it doesn’t affect my walking. Anyway, click below to see my last 3 days.
Granon to Hornillos
I am sitting in Burgos as I write this, but have actually hiked 13 miles ahead. Burgos is a great city with lots going on. I am meeting Florida for dinner tonight. He is just arriving here. Anyway, click below for a recap of the past 3 days.
Logrono to Granon
The warm weather is supposed to end tomorrow. Highs back to the mid 40s, but no rain in the 7 day forecast! All continues to go well, no blisters or ailments. I have been walking 9 days now, so should be in good shape. Thanks for following along.
Estella to Logrono
Almost no rain yesterday and none today! It is nice arriving to the hostel being dry. Today was warm (60) and quite windy. Temps (highs) are supposed to be back in the 40s in 2 days. Thanks for following along.
Pamplona to Estella
Tomorrow I am doing a long day (18 miles, so not too long) but into a small town, so wifi may be weak. That is why I am posting 2 days instead of 3. Anyway – all is good. I feel fine physically. No blisters or sore body parts. It has been surprisingly quiet. Thanks for following along.
St Jean to Pamplona
My trip is off and walking. I am 3 days and about 42 miles in. I feel great, so that is nice. It is very quiet. I will probably post on a three day schedule.
Thanks for following along.
Gary is off to Spain
I leave January 1 for a winter walk on the Camino Frances across northern Spain. Elizabeth has chosen to stay warm in Phoenix, so I am off on a solo adventure. Like on the AT – I am going alone, but there will be lots of new friends to meet along the way. I have published a Camino 2025 recap page and a Camino 2025 Intro page that give more details.
It has been almost 4 months since we have had measurable rainfall here in Phoenix and for the past 2 months our average high has been about 75 degrees. I am looking forward to having some weather to deal with. I plan to post every 2 to 3 days as I make my way across Spain.
The Farm at Lake Clark
This will be our last post for a while. Rangeley and I (G) head out Friday to drive to the east coast to visit family, then head to Ohio to visit our Amish friends. In the past we have journaled a trip like this. We are down to 2 National Parks remaining, but we will continue to revisit our favorites and find fun state parks to travel to. Thanks for reading along.
Lake Clark
We have been a bit slow to post this one. Another amazing trip. We love Alaska and look forward to the two remaining Parks on our list – Glacier Bay and Wrangell St Elias. Hopefully next summer. I am off to the east with Rangeley in a few days. Elizabeth will fly to Boston. We don’t plan to post anything on this summer’s road trip.
Katmai National Park
The bear viewing at Brooks Falls lived up to our very high expectations. We are having a great time here in Alaska. We will post Lake Clark when we arrive home. Two days ago the high was 49. This mornings low was 37. It is going to be tough to return to the Phoenix heat.
