    Flooding rains on the spiritual variant?

    I did. I hope they don’t close it, it we’ll find out that morning. I like jungleboy’s tip about walking some of it the afternoon we get there. It will be a short but challenging 10k to get there from combarro, so I might have enough energy in the afternoon to walk a bit of it.

    Flooding rains on the spiritual variant?

    I can confirm, it was definitely too muddy. Unfortunately there was a number of people that didn’t get that advice, me included.

    Minimal but comforting packing list

    I know you want an electric toothbrush (I prefer one too) but this is an opportunity for some weight savings. I’ve tried a couple of travel electric toothbrushes and there are some good ones out there. My standard Sonicare toothbrush with charger weighs 8.1 oz. Sonicare makes a travel version...

    Those BRIGHT motion activated lights, or how to pee in 5 seconds

    Yes, I was wondering that myself. I’ve spent quite a bit of time at sea, and our lights all switched to red after 2200.

    "3 Caminos" Series available on US Amazon Prime Video

    I’ve watched The Way and really liked it, but I agree with others that some of the YouTube videos out there are exceptional. This is one I really enjoyed. It’s 2 hours long, but well worth the time.
