Day 185–6 months!

Ruth camped out in her car last night nearby and when I woke up we hopped in her car and headed for some breakfast. We came up with a plan for the day. She said that she was able to stay for a day or two and help out. With the walk and to use the Rossiter System on me to help my body out. We threw Lieutenant Dan into her car and I was able to walk with just a small backpack. Which ended up being great because I was able to take a shortcut through some forest roads that I wouldn’t have been able to go on with the stroller. 
I got going and she went to go scout out places to camp later tonight. The views I saw today we’re incredible. I didn’t have to worry about traffic at all and I was loving it. I actually had time to think. I was moving quickly and easily without Danny boy. 
This is the kind of walking I wish I could do everyday. Where I see more animals than cars. It was bliss. Ruth came to bring me a subway sandwich and I went on for a little longer. Storms were coming in soon. The clouds were getting pretty ugly. All I had after lunch was a water bottle. So I jogged some. It felt great to run along this gravel road with wild sunflowers being used as a fence to endless fields of hay. Just beautiful. And some great smells! Some not so great ones as well. There were lots of cows so every now and then you got a whiff of all that funkiness. 
Ruth came back and I’d gone 16 miles. Close enough to what I wanted to do. The storm was getting really close so we checked into the campground and set everything up. Rain came and went a few times and we did some of the body work between downpours. 
This system is pretty incredible. I’ll talk more about it later on but it’s fast and effective. I can move my arms, legs, and even neck way better than I could before. Pretty neat stuff. It’s a funny scene to bystanders who don’t know what’s going on and we had plenty of them at the campground looking at us and then looking away from us quickly haha. I was laying in the grass on a mat and she was stepping on me using hiking poles for balance and I was making all sorts of crazy movements and sounds as we worked through the exercises. The freakshow of the day at Antelope Valley RV Park. 
We headed to dinner at Mexican and tentatively made a plan for tomorrow morning. Looks like I may get another day without Lieutenant Dan and I won’t have any traffic either. Life is good. Ruth is awesome.
