Day 7 - Thrasher Creek and Crossing the River Jordan - July 4, 2013

Day Seven - July 4, 2013
      (Thrasher Creek to River Jordan)




Last morning on the trail couldn't come soon enough yet, perversely, as I lay there, morning came much too soon.


Verity was sort of perky





Felicity waited for her phone alarm to ring.


And I lay in the corner cringing. We broke camp in a spirit of hope, then hiked by the warden office to the foot of that last cardio-killer climb.


 I was bagged by the time I hit the summit. I urged myself on, reassuring myself that it was only a six kilometre hike through the woods now, a short forest stroll to trail's head and the end of my quest for glory.  But I am bagged, my legs are tired, my tank is empty

 The girls encourage me on and finally, as the finish line comes into sight, I stumble over it, well actually, we crossed the Jordan River by ferry boat and on to my salvation in the promised land.  Then off to Port Renfrew for a glorious celebration on the patio at the bar.  Another job well done.
