Armed with a smile
we sally forth across the land
This deserted landscape of cacti and sand
and wherever our thoughts take us
that's where we roam
With some food, water, and shelter called home
Climbing over giants
and flying down their backside
we hunt for kindness and joy
never fear or pride
and the skies have rewarded us
with hailstorms, thunder, heat, wind and dust
As we continue our journey
with gratitude and trust
We just crossed over our first state line yesterday after battling hard head winds, dust storms, heat, and huge mountains into death valley - but we bombed down our biggest mountain yet - from 5000 feet to -100 feet in 10 miles! We just flew into death valley. We hitched a ride from a very nice man from death valley to vegas to bypass a long stretch of dangerous and hot road, where we find ourselves now - sharing a travelodge room with two nice guys from singapore who we split a double with. After our culture shock delerium of stumbling down the strip last night with tired eyes and legs, we'll continue down south across the hoover dam today and into Arizona.
The Sierra 14ers
Mt Whitney is there somewhereWe are enjoying our evening meals of mac and cheese mixed with dehydrated potatoes cooked on the litle beer can alcohol stove (google "penny stove" to check out what we're cooking on) and our legs are getting stronger every day.
Much Love to you all-
Kyle and Max
