Hy!
I am going to talk about pages 60-120, my thought about these pages and my favorite parts in the book. And a little bit about the things that I did not like.
She started her journey trough the Pacific Crest trail. At first she isn't worried about the big hike ,but when she got her bags together and was ready to go ,she realized that it was not going to be easy at all but harder than she expected. Her hiking bag was very heavy ,because she had all her stuff in int and 24 gallons of water too. She had planned to walk on average 14 miles a day, but on day two she was already significantly behind.
It was very important to get to the next point which was Golden Oak Springs ,because there she could get water. Once Sheryl arrived to Golden Oak Springs she started cleaning her bruises and wounds from walking. She already had many blisters on her foot. But Sheryl didn't have much time to pamper her self , she must walk further every day and resting only during the nights. She realized that landscape had changed from a desert to forrest with trees. And also her stove was broken so she only ate food that didn't need to be cooked. She basically is out of all foods she had bought with her. She tought that it would be a good idea to leave the trail and find a highway and then a gas stop to get some food. But it was a really bad idea because she got lost but eventually she found her way out. She was picked up by some guy who brought her to a near motel where she washed her clothes and got some food for hiking. In the motel there was a man named Greg who was from the trail ,he had started the trail near the Mexico border in early May and planned to go all the the way to Canada. Sheryl was so happy that now she has some company but at same time intimidated by Greg because he walked 22 miles every day and was more experienced hiker. Greg at same time was impressed because Sheryl was the only woman who he had seen registered in the book. Hikers register themselves in a book before they start a hiking and other hikers then can see who is hiking same time.
I liked the book because it's thrilling and at the same time very emotional. But I did not like that it sometimes too descriptional ,but in my opinion the overall feeling of the book is very good.
But in my next blog I will talk about where they are heading and its going to be interesting because there will be lots of snow.
