    2019/07/15, 23:12 - Yolande Cairns: Just think that's the worst bit. Almost done. It is not a long piece.

    2019/07/15, 23:17 - Yolande Cairns: This is the section everyone was struggling
    2019/07/15, 23:17 - William: Will get stuff and get just out of town to camp
    2019/07/15, 23:17 - Yolande Cairns: Why. Love your tent so much now?
    2019/07/15, 23:17 - William: I'm being lucky with weather
    2019/07/15, 23:20 - Yolande Cairns: That's fine. After a good rest I still think you can finish in one day. All others have done that. Most way down except for last bit.
    2019/07/15, 23:21 - Yolande Cairns: Remember to get batteries for your tracker
    2019/07/15, 23:21 - William: Every afternoon is cloudy

    2019/07/15, 23:23 - William: Also decided Walmart was more likely to have batteries than convenience store
    2019/07/15, 23:23 - William: Roads, trees mountains firemen
    2019/07/15, 23:23 - William: But
