Hi everyone!

We're still having a great time and are well past the thousand mile mark at mile 1093! This is huge, but what's more huge is that we are only a week and a half from the halfway point.  We have had a nice weekend in Tahoe and were happy to find that Brett's parents made the long journey up for this weekend as well. We actually stayed in Carson City (which turned out to be a great trail town) and travelled back and forth from there and Tahoe. We saw Moonrise Kingdom. We enjoyed a real hotel room which was a sweet surprise because we had been planning on staying in a campground. We ate the most ridiculous portions you've ever seen at the Harrah's buffet. It was so nice to be full for once. As if our hiker hunger wasn't already out of control, it has now doubled! The terrain should be much easier from now on and we're going much faster now. 25 miles a day instead of 15. At this point in the trip, we're a little homesick and craving time to do the things we like to do. Be with friends and family. Go to a concert. Make something. Read. Go to the beach. Relax in the sun and not think about miles. Brew beer. Work. Make a home. The trip demands all of our time, but we both agree that the payoff and lessons learned will be sweeter than anything we could be doing at home. And so, we are motivated to keep putting one foot in front of the other.  The trip also continues to evolve as we get ever closer to Oregon and it's volcanic rock, green, green forests, ferns, and berries. I can't wait for berries! Not too long now.

Love to everyone!
