Machu Picchu 2016: August 2016
http://bill-sandy-machupicchu.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 5, 2016. Saturday, July 2 and Sunday, July 3. Fly from Denver to Miami, Miami to Lima. The connection should be easy right? Because they had switched gates there was no crew available to deplane our flight from Denver! We stood in the plane waiting to get off for almost a half hour. In the mean time our flight to Lima 2 gates down disappeared. No big deal right? Nope yet again… We get to LATAM and they have no record of ANY reservations for us! We make it to Peru and now all is well right?

Bill and Sandy Chockla, AT 2009. Thursday, May 28, 2009. 5/28/09 – Thursday. My feet were like prunes at the end of the hike yesterday. Zero blisters though so that means I have more feeling back in the foot! Sandy had spread my gear out for me last night while I was icing the foot. What a crew eh? 5/27/09 – Wednesday. The rain was fairly steady most of the day with some heavier squalls off and on. The 2,000’ climb up to Killington Peak reminded me a lot of some of the trails Sandy and I have d...A coupl...

Bill and Sandy Chockla, AT 2009. Saturday, May 30, 2009. 5/29/09 – Friday. Uh oh…. Wimping out… it’s raining cats and dogs this morning. With the ground up here already pretty saturated and with 20 miles up next, I decided to wait out the rain. :-o… no SPOT today…. 5/30/09 – Saturday. I was expecting it to take 10-12 hours. Good thing I had cell service and Sandy did too. Otherwise I would have been sitting at the parking lot for an hour and a half or so. As I’ve said before, I guess th...We have the jou...

Bill and Sandy Chockla, AT 2009. Friday, June 19, 2009. Maine - Bad Weather Again. 6/19/09 – Friday. I’ll write more later if there’s anything interesting going on. Sandy took a break to workout this afternoon and we’re heading downstairs to the Jacuzzi for a bit. 6/18/09 – Thursday. SPOT didn’t work last night. Obviously, I got back ok. :). Last day before Katahdin? Besides those, a couple small snakes, chipmunks, squirrels and the birds that was it for wildlife today. Around 2,000-3,000’ elevatio...

Bill and Sandy Chockla, AT 2009. Friday, July 3, 2009. Starting Home - Acadia National Park. Just added a couple more days to this entry on 7/9. 7/1/09 – Wednesday. We made it down to Ellsworth by 2 today. As we left Millinocket, I saw a moose along the highway. Still none on the trail! 7/2/09 – Thursday. The clouds are back! 7/3/09 – Friday. We just walked around town some and walked along the century old one mile shoreline trail in Bar Harbor. Not much to see this morning. Too much fog! The seas weren&...

Bill and Sandy Chockla, AT 2009. Friday, June 19, 2009. 6/18/09 – Thursday. SPOT didn’t work last night. Obviously, I got back ok. :). Last day before Katahdin? The weird thing today was I saw more frogs than I’ve seen probably in all the rest of the hiking total. They were all over the place. Do they sense the rain coming? Besides those, a couple small snakes, chipmunks, squirrels and the birds that was it for wildlife today. About half way up you get to Beaver Pond. The frogs were out croaking ther...

Bill and Sandy Chockla, AT 2009. Sunday, May 31, 2009. 5/31/09 – Sunday. Another interesting day… Started the day off with company! Sandy joined me for the first couple miles in, but I forgot to take her picture! The first mile or so was a tough climb. She kept up with me fine as I have a real hard time starting the morning(s) with steep uphills. After a couple miles though, she decided to turn back. Good thing as it turns out, she ended up with a blister on her heel. Nice and quiet she was eh? The peaks...

Bill and Sandy Chockla, AT 2009. Tuesday, June 9, 2009. New Hampshire - rest day. 6/9/09 – Tuesday. New Hampshire Day 7. 6/8/09 – Monday. I used the 40 degree bag and had one wool blanket covering my legs to start the night. My left hip was really aching off and on though so I rolled around a lot. I didn’t bother to keep putting the wool blanket back in place. Overall I felt warm enough all night. It’s really slow going for me. Crossed a little suspension bridge over the West Branch of the Peabody River&...
