So close to half way!!! Hard to believe this adventure is nearly half over. I'm a little sad that half of the trail is behind me and still excited to see what is to come. This heat wave has been difficult to hike through, the middle of the day is easily 90 degrees and humid with sometimes little shade. Water has been fairly plentiful and there is nothing better than an ice cold spring up on a ridge. This morning I started at 6,000 feet and descended into a river valley at 2,300. Big downs mean big ups tomorrow and I'm planning on leaving at 4am to beat the heat.
Such a HUGE milestone means lots of thoughts and reflecting on being out here. Everyone has different reasons for attempting such a massive feat and a major motivator for me is to use this trip to help others in need. The Colville Valley Animal Snactuary is an awesome organization with a great heart and I am so excited help them in their mission to help the animals in need in Stevens County, WA. Every little bit helps and a community working together can do big thinks. Imagine if every person who saw this blog donated $5.... that would be HUGE. And the best part is that when I'm done I'll be hosting an evening program in Colville to share stories from the trail and a slideshow. If you would like me to come to your neck of the woods please feel free to email me and perhaps we can work something out, talags@gmail.com. So click on the donation icon and help make the world a better place for the fuzzy critters of northeast washington. Tail wags and sloppy kissed to you =-)
Peace and Love and Happy Trails

Yes you are half way there, way to go. We so appreciate what you are doing for us. You will not know the sanctuary when you return, we have a PARKING Lot. We had a wonderful fellow from Knife River Cement come with big equipment, brought loads of gravel and did wonders. He leveled, cleared made us look good. He donated his time and equipment so we could have a graveled level driveway and parking lot. We now have a place to park and can walk from the kennels to our cars without falling in ruts. Can hardly wait for your evening slide show.
