The blueberries are in full season and it is terrible to have to walk by by bushes loaded with berries but you could spend hours picking and eat until you got sick. The handfuls collected and carefully carried in a ziplock bag were a splendid addition to the cold instant oatmeal eaten out of a baggie. A couple of months ago we gave up our stove, pots, bowl and cup all in an effort to lighten our loads. The only thing we carry is a spoon. It is amazing what you can eat cold out of a plastic bag. Our main-stay food is flour tortillas, foil packets of tuna, peanut butter, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, instant oatmeal with a packet of instant breakfast and high calorie power-bars (if I never eat another one it will be too soon!)

Ending the day at a shelter on the edge of a beautiful lake where the loons mournful call was the only sound we could hear. These are the moments that will stay with us on this 'Walk to Remember'.
