I think this quote is important because it is the start of her journey. At this moment in the book, Cheryl is preparing to begin embarking on the journey of the Pacific Crest Trail. This quote is her saying to herself: "I'm ready, there's no going back now". ]]> 2017-11-10 14:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/avazqu5463/cz9kdrmcfup4/wish/205691713
