You will be able to look back and smile and laugh when you reread it, a truly priceless gift. It will also anchor you to where you were at a given point in time on and off the trail during your hike.
I find myself going back and looking at my journals to see where I was on a certain date during my hike and end up reading through the entire day’s entry.
