Pendragon

Every hill seems steeper and higher than the last and my body is asking me "what have I done to deserve this?"
The descent into NOC was hard on the knees but fast. Gonna hole up in the hostel tonight and rest for the biggest climb yet, out of the NOC and into Fontana. I SHOULD have had my Fontana mail drop sent here because the resupply is bad and getting into Brison City is dicey.
I keep hearing horror stories of a virus running amoke up the trail. Can only hope I can avoid getting hot with it, am just now getting over a cold.
