The End is In Sight

We have had 3 very productive days since returning from our mini vacation. We finally accomplished a major 2-day hike that we have been putting off since we first started. We have been putting off the hike only because we knew how much it would hurt to carry the rocks out when we finished it, and we were right! Overall, the hike went pretty well, though I was a little damp, but not from the rain (see photo). Not even the fog kept us from working, though when your already on the ridge when it rolls in, you don't have a choice.
We were also able to check off another ridge from our list, and are now only left with 2 more. If the weather cooperates, we should be able to get up both of these ridges and be able to check all of our goals off by the middle of the week. If this schedule works out, it will give us a little extra time to spend in other parts of the country. The return trip to Rekjavik is the key motivator these days as we are pretty worn out and, in my case, kind of beaten up (sometimes the mountains fight back when you hammer on them).
We are tired but excited to finally relax and look back on our accomplishments. We are close to the light at the end of the tunnel.
