Stick hiked more than 20 miles yesterday, most of it in miserable weather. He’s on a schedule, and as I know from similar situations, it’s not easy to keep to a plan on the trail. Weather and terrain can throw unexpected obstacles at you.
After spending time with his daughter, Stick is now trying to push hard to reach Hanover in two days. He plans to meet a friend who will be hiking with him for a few days.
