This was a walk with a friend to get out in the open and catch up. We walked my Old Faithful route, stopping at the pub in Akeley and meeting with her parents and their friends for a beer, then a walk back to hers, then out to dinner for a massive two racks of ribs to undo all the good work of the day. It was worth it, though!
Also, it's worth remarking that this was fourteen miles walked in two days. I tried my impact-absorbant insoles in my boots to try and relieve pressure on the previous day's blisters but to no avail. They dramatically reduced the amount of room in my boots and probably made things worse, but never mind. These things heal.
