Known as Dances and Silent D  (Short for Dances with Lizards and  

Brr(Silent D) or Natalie and Stephen), made it to Manning Park  

November 18th.

 

To everyone who helped us along the way.  Thank you.

 

To everyone who we met along the way.  Thank you for making the  

journey so special.

 

Thank you for the good wishes, the prayers to the trail gods and the  

weather gods, the support in all ways, the gift of meeting someone and  

having a conversation, however brief.

 

To those who said we couldn't do it.  Well, we did it anyway.

 

In October, closing in on the OR/WA border, someone told me I was  

insane.  Straight up insane to think I could make it.

 

I smiled and kept walking.

 

Kept walking the way I wanted to walk.

 

We hiked the trail in style.  We enjoyed the entire journey.

 

In the end, it's not about the miles, but what happens between the miles.

 

And I popped a bottle of champagne at the border.  Just cause I could  

after carrying it for 80 miles.
