Keeping the Dentist at Bay
Sherbear and Jettbutt weren't hiking out. The weather moved off mid afternoon, offering some time for a few miles but -- well, we're family; I'll hang out for a while. Not sure what I could do. JB's heels were raw from the new boots, hamburger ugly, sores which must have made mileage sheer hell. Been there not too many moons ago. A day off felt odd -- wonderful in a way, but the itch to walk was ever-present.
Indiana Jean showed up before dusk along with Steely and Yeti. JB and SB were still negotiating how to manage their hike. She wanted him to get off trail and they'd find a hotel for a few days. He wanted her to hike on with me and Indy -- he'd catch up. At least we had enough bodies for a solid Hearts game.
