May 20, 2018 300 Mile Mission

548562769

While Granny Hat sang jazz with the Oriana Chorale in Hollister today, Stephan traveled through the San Bernadino Mountains north of Running Springs and Lake Arrowhead.  He met up with some BSA Scoutmasters that were day hiking and ended up trekking with them all day.  He said he’d tell me the whole story later but it included meeting up with their families for dinner and they treated Stephan.  He has met many kind and generous people so far on the trip.

So, 300 miles! Mission approximately 11% done.  For those of you tracking with Google Earth, his finishing coordinates tonight are 34.30080, -117.1271.   The PCT makes a horseshoe shape around Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead on the north crest of the San Bernadino Mountains so his latitude hasn’t changed much these last two days, traveling west by northwest.

Granny Hat was happily wearing her music hat today  and enjoyed singing to a completely full house but she promises to be more forthcoming with fresh PCT information and musings on the trail tomorrow.

 

I Will Trust in You by Lauren Daigle

“You are my strength and comfort, you are my steady hand,

You are my firm foundation, the rock on which I stand,

Your ways are always higher, your plans are always good,

There’s not a place where I’ll go, you’ve not already stood.

When You don’t move the mountains, I’m needing you to move,

When You don’t part the waters, I wish I could walk through,

When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to you,

I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You.”
