Day 7 of the journey! I'm soar!

Day 7 of our 150-mile backpacking journey through Michigan’s Thumb hit hard — literally. 😩🥾 After pushing through long days, sore legs, and rainy miles, my body finally said enough. We had to stop so I could ice my sore muscles and recover before continuing the hike from Bay City to Port Huron.

This is the unfiltered truth of long-distance backpacking — it’s not always scenic views and easy miles. Sometimes it’s swelling knees, aching backs, and doing whatever you can to keep moving forward.
