The trail has been amazing, both beautiful and fun. But it's no doubt taxing on the body, the first day on the trail I got a blister on my right heel, it hurt to the point that I was limping and compensating with my left leg. This turned out to do far more damage to my left knee than I had anticipated, It had been slowing me down on the trail but with the suppose of some new friends we made it to idyllwild (mile 151), which is where I'm writing from now.
