What were you doing 150 days ago? It seems hard to believe that I was sticking my foot through a fence into Mexico, and starting to walk north to Canada.

It came as a great surprise to me how hard it was to continue hiking when I was tired. There were many times I would have liked to quit, but I knew that if I did quit, I would regret it later, so I was determined to finish. 100's of photos.< Less
