Day 1: 16.5 km, 3 mountain streams, 1 magical forest, 18 disbelieving muscles, 2 completely mud-saturated hiking shoes, 4 exhausted but very happy trampers
Day 2: 15 km, 1 saddle crossing, 3 fit and ready warriors and 1 totally exhausted tramper (yours truly), countless top-notch mountain vistas
Day 3: 15 km, scattered showers in the Misty Mountains, 1 golden field through Rohan, 8 sore feet, 3 blisters, 3,574 sandflies at the end of the day
Day 4: 16.5 km, unrelenting downpour = wet tents, soaking clothing, rising creek levels = getting a late start and sprinting to catch the shuttle bus out = 3 hours of pretending to be chasing orcs to keep my feet moving, followed by a warm night of hot tub, pizza, and beer
