You are listening to the Hiking Radio Network where we taught the walk with shows by hikers about hikers for everybody. Thank you. Hey guys, it's me again.

You're listening to Mighty Blue on the Appalachian Trail,

though of course I'm still on the Camino de Santiago in Spain

and you're hearing about this hike.

This week, I've only got one day to tell you about,

which is day number 20.

Day 20 actually takes me within 15 miles of Leon, but I'd already done the artwork for this show

where I leave Leon and go down south. So I'm going to stick with the days indicated by the

artwork. That may make no sense to you right now, but I think you're working out

when I get on to the next few episodes. Also today, we catch up with Dave Santee as he

approaches the halfway mark on the trail. On the Appalachian Trail, by the way, not the Camino.

That's already a big achievement. And Dave, despite spending more time by himself and he'd

really like to

still going strong and living the dream. So let's get the number 20 in the books and I'll tell you

briefly about my train journey south from Leon. Day 20, Versiana del Reil Camino, mile 259.6 to Relyegos, mile 272.2, 12.6 mile day.

The top bunk in which I'd been placed the previous evening turned out to be better and easier than I thought.

I was able to arrange all my things wherever I wanted to and fortunately

this place provided lockers though they didn't actually lock so I could put those extra things

I didn't actually need on or around my bed. I slept okay and nobody complained about the snoring

so I'm always good to go with that. Actually you know what I'm pretty pleased with myself for at least

making an effort to mitigate my snoring on behalf of my fellow hikers.

Because a few days back, I was in a bunk room with a whole bunch of other hikers and this ungodly noise behind me went off.
