I liked the simplicity of having so few clothing choices, and even though my travel clothes were definitely worn out when I returned home, I had a hard time giving them up. It will be interesting to see how you feel! You certainly have already done some very, very challenging things: driving across the USA by yourself with four children under age five has to be among the most difficult (almost impossible) things anyone could do. I'd say you are resourceful, resilient and daring, ...especially fine attributes in today's world.

I did have sisters and a brother who were already here. I've driven across the USA twice by myself...once with 4 kids under the age of 5...<br />Yes...I will be carrying everything I need for the entire trip in my backpack. I will be so tired of the clothes by the time I arrive home!

Martha, are you carrying everything in your backpack throughout the pilgrimage, or just what you need for the day? (I am following you and another woman who will be walking this route this summer, and I may have mixed up the specific details of those two trips.) More importantly, have you always been unstoppable? Your energy and determination, as well as your zest for life, are amazing...and inspiring!! Once again, bravo!! With admiration, LeslieLeslie in Oregonnoreply@blogger.com
