Today began with Vigil Prayers at the Abbey at 3:15AM(not required for guests) and ended after dark at Saint Andrews Apostle Church (just barely)

Morning Vigil - Reading from Isaiah

Who would not feel more at peace here in the presence of these Holy Women

Morning Santa Rita Abbey

After a couple of more hours of sleep, it’s up and to morning prayers and communion service.

Santa Rita Abbey - Scripture readings

Santa Rita Abbey - AM Communion Service - a Beautiful and Holy group of women who are a touch stone for today

Then off on the road by 9:45am – beautiful day and feeling good.

The Border Patrol is on the Job. Helicopter overhead as well and circling Drones at night.

The drivers on on the road were very respectful particularly the big trucks. Not many and those there were pulled wide and a couple even slowed until they could.

The road to Seirra Vista is rolling by faster today - less wind and mild climbs

Seems in the middle of no where and it is, even so when I stopped for a break and lunch, a car stopped to check if I needed anything. I thanked them and off they went – there are more good people out here than not. So if I were doing then news all could focus on is the negative  circling Drone airplanes at night that confuse me when I am looking at the stars, they keep blinking red and green.

Coming into Fort Huachuca I was all in. The ankle keep wanting to lock up and behind the knees stabbed with every stroke. A little rest, Ibprofine and clenched teeth got me to Saint Andrews church.

My grand plan of 50 miles a day average is looking a little grand. This is kinda of like when in school trying raise you grade average, those low test scores a the beginning, made the catch up work much more difficult. Of course I am out of school and I can take it easy on myself, realizing I will own the results, what ever they are.

Made is to St. Andrew the Aposital Church in Sierra Vista. I could have gone another mile more than the 35.6 I did today
