PCT Day 43 – A Discouraging Day

Last updated Mar 25, 2020 | Published on Jun 6, 2017

I didn’t have a great day today. Nothing especially bad happened, I just felt tired and my foot hurt more than usual and I was grumpy and felt discouraged.  I’ll elaborate more tomorrow.

Here are some pictures from today.

This bench is cool

This Signpost made out of a shovel is cool
