    Do I need better rain gear? (or mental strategy for rain)

    I just walked from Orrison to Roncevalles on Monday. It rained the entire day. We even got some sleet! Everything was soaking wet, all day. I had on a puffer under a marmot raincoat, with the cover on my backpack. Most things inside were in ziplocks and dry bags -everything else wet. I bought a...

    Permethrin treatment, down bags and putting one’s pack in a garbage bag at night….

    This is a side note question, but what size dry bags do I need to order? My town is small so I can’t see them. And do you spray the inside of all of those, too?

    Documenting the Journey

    I’ve definitely thought about videos. And I do want there to be something to mark each day, so maybe the combo of the Polar Steps or Penguin app would show me my location and a short video could remind me of how I was feeling. How are you feeling now that you are home?

    Documenting the Journey

    Documenting the Journey

    I’m thinking this may be what works for me, too. I have an IG account already. I would like to say I will write in my journal regularly but I don’t always get to it, so… like everything Camino related-we will see!

    Documenting the Journey

    I’ve never heard of find penguins but I’m going to go look! I appreciate all the advice! Part of wanting to document it is for myself. I’m expecting that I will want to revisit my amazing time in Spain, but I’m also going to want my kids and close friends to see some of it, too!

    Documenting the Journey

    What is the best way to document this journey? Everyone who hears I’m about to do this, wants to know how they can follow me. A part of me wants to share what I’m doing, and another part of me wants to be silent. But! So many people don’t know this exists and really need to-and, most...

    If at first you don't succeed, try-try again and again, and again....
