So tonight at dinner with some other hikers, Kendra was christened with a trail name – she is now “Sage”. This started over a week ago when Kendra picked up a tin jar of pain ointment from a picnic table/ hiker box that was called Sister Sage. She started using this daily on her hip, knees, ankle, etc. and it has been working to relieve pain. She mentioned this to another hiker. Tonight, they had a jar of this ointment at dinner. And Kendra was given her trail name.
On another level — Cammie’s trail name while hiking the AT with me in 2012 was ‘Basil’. So her sister is now Sage – keeping the ‘herb’ theme going!
Keep at it Sage and Bucket!! Doing great!
Bucket here – thanks Mary Beth! We take it one day at a time – adapt & adjust!
Great update!!!
