Uno, Dos...

First couple days have been rough going, a ton of ups and downs on very rocky terrain. Thankfully at the end of the first day I caught up to a couple guys who are also thru-hiking the Shivl (Trail). Josh and Chaim are awesome to hike with and yesterday would have been rough without them. We ended pulling 23 mile yesterday and had to hike into Be'er Ora which is a gorgeous little village. Staying the night in this authentic Bedouin Tent outside the guy called Zohar's house. It cost about 50 shekels a person but after the last two days it was so worth it to get a shower and a pad to sleep on. Anyways here's some pictures:

INT sign, read right to left it's white for mountains, blue for the Mediterranean and Orange for the Negev. White on the right means we're heading North. 

Goshen Ascent was beautiful, if you look to the left, that "road" is the border with Egypt. 

These awesome hills have a name, I just can't remember it 😕 .

Only one of these ladders in the Wadi yesterday, more to come though and they aren't easy with weight on your back.

Did I mention the Negev is beautiful? 

Josh and Chaim there, climbing through a super narrow path in the rock.

Shehoret Canyon! 

View from the Amram Ascent and what a view it is.
