Hello, everyone.
Today I wish to honor our faithful companions--indeed our very guardians agaist catastrophe: our hiking poles.
These faithful aids were there for every scary moment. They kept us from falling numerous times. And now, since we have passed them on to aid other pilgrims on the Camino, I want to honor their service.
They were the balancing aid on rocks both ascending and descending. They gave us needed information about muddy patches. Once they spotted a missing board on a bridge. Imagine if the pole had not gone before in the overgrown weeds and discovered the missing board!
Thus I honor their service.
They were bought from K2 Planeta sports shop in Leon, before we started walking on the Ruta San Salvador. They proved their worth over and over, going up and down on the Salvador, then up and down on the Primitivo.
Today we delivered them to the volunteers at Pilgrim House in Santiago, to be passed along to other pilgrims who need poles.
