Your friend, Marlene, is a pilgrim-attractor. I’ve seen this myself with various people I’ve hiked with. Like you, I prefer solitude, and I also agree with you in wanting to know where I’ll be spending the night after a long journey. Still, what a wonderful adventure you’re having and I appreciate your skill in communicating it, at least to this sofa-stuck reader.

Thanks, Glen, for your comments. "Pilgrim-attractor" is a great phrase for Marlene. Gosh, the pilgrimage was enhanced ten-fold by her interactions. Knowing where I am spending the night, whether the Camino or Mountains to Sea, is critical in terms of having a daily end-point.
