The end of the first month

I sit down to pen this with the realization that the first month of our fellowship has already passed. We've gained far more members than I first anticipated- and have done a fairly good job of staying on course in our walking.

The general concensus of the party seems to be that for the next month we will attempt to travel 8 miles a week instead of 7. The only people who disagree with this are the males (minus Samdo) who have all gone on dozens of hard journeys and feel that we should be moving much swifter than we are.

And any rate, despite much hinting and teasing from them, I have drawn up the schedule for the next month. For those of us who are slightly behind we must hurry to catch up!

On June 23rd we should be at the 37 mile mark and will camp in a small hollow where the Fellowship spent the night

On July 1st we will reach the crest of a hill where we will finally be able to see snow capped peaks to the east

On July 12th we will reach a small stream and follow it east

and on the following day we ought to have done 59 miles and will have compleated our second month on this journey.

Many cheers to you all! Let us continue on with steadfast hearts and cheerful song!
