Our Journey is Continuing on the Great TrailWe’ve completed our 2nd of three seasons crossing Canada on The Great (Canadian) Trail. We still have one presentation currently scheduled. Here is the date, join us if you have a bit of time and are interested in seeing our Quebec and Ontario crossing: Bushtukah Store in Ottawa, ON – April 29th, 2020 (link to the event).

We are continuing to plan for our upcoming walk across the Prairies and BC. Our departure date has changed, we are in a waiting pattern. COVID-19 is forcing all of us to re-examine our activities. Our desire to hit the trail is very strong but we have chosen to postpone our departure. This is our reasoning. As travelers, walking through communities, we may inadvertently spread the virus. Also, if we get an injury and require some medical attention, we may tax unnecessarily an already challenged medical system. The trail will be there when life returns to a new normal. Thru-hiking taught us to stay in the present moment and not fret about tomorrow. So, for the time being, we continue to train (in our apartment) and go out for urban day walks (respecting social distancing). We hope you stay healthy and take advantage of this time to focus on what is important to you. Eat well, exercise, practice proper hygiene, manage your stress, and get plenty of rest. A virtual hug from us to you! |
