Stuck in the mud

6-8-13 Today we walked in the rain again. The muddy paths sucked us down leaving us quite exhausted. In one area we were walking through two walls of thorny brambles about a foot apart. The mud and water covered our boots as the rain poured done out faces. We didn't make it the 28 kilometers that we had planned. Instead we walked about 13 and called it quits. We decided that tomorrow's rest day will turn in to a half day. Today Gill remarked that this path is a good reminder that you can make plans, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. She is totally right.
