    Out of SJPP on Sunday April 30

    Am currently on the Camino Frances with limited connectivity. I had a horrific day on the trail out of SJPP due to the windstorm. I heard from some Portuguese pilgrims that several people had to be rescued. Anyone have any links or knowledge?

    Camino Day 1 From Sjdp. A Bit Scared !!!

    Re jet lag - live clean, minimal alcohol, LOTS of water and good nutrition on the days leading up to the trip. Stay up as late as possible upon arrival. Think of it like post-workout stretching.

    Camino Day 1 From Sjdp. A Bit Scared !!!

    Solo walker also and was day one also had me quite intimidated at first but then compared it to my trips out of the Grand Canyon, less elevation gain over much more distance = less steep.
