Take a Hike 30 . . .

Another long bus day brought me to my next stop Franz Josef and as I am preparing mentally to hike on that huge mountain of ice tomorrow the rain has started to come down.  We are expecting rain and thundersdtorms tomorrow (we hike in ALL weather) HA!  I guess it's time to "go big or go home," right boys??  Ahh well- they equip you with all the necessary rain gear and the weather is kind of warm (and extremly physical) so hopefully I won't freeze. 
 
I am feeling really good today and have avoided any and all car sickness.  The roads were very windey today but it kind of lulled me to sleep.  I am hoping that tomorrow I'll remain tough. 
 
A little old couple approached me today at one of our stops.  They were from Syndney, Australia and the wife was starring at me because she said I reminded her of her daughter- "she'd like you- VERY independent & tough"  I laugh when people tell me that.  I really do.
 
My session is running short and I need to go catch dinner so I can rest up for tomorrow, but I'll write again with the complete recap so stay tuned.  (and pray for our safety on that glacier!)
 
 
Heather B. . . I expect at least 2 Mud-run teams to be committed by the time I am back.  If I can survive equestrian bootcamp & climbing a mountian of ice- we all can run that run in good spirit!
