Up at 0530 and decided to do my hike a little early. I also added another four pounds to the pack. It did not add much to the time, only a couple of minutes. I got on the scales be with everything, and then just before showering, and there was a thirty pound difference... When leaving the garage after taking off the backpack it really felt like walking on air. The first time I have felt that.
Checked USPS on line and still no word of my tent. I may have to forward it after all. We’ll see.
Made a trip to Costco and stopped at the P.O., no package. I did find some “trail food” at World Market that was not half salt. At Walmart it all had 1200 1300 mg sodium...
While at Walmart, I returned a tent (unopened) that I had ordered online. I had bought it for practice and trials runs, but, I should have my “real” tent in a couple of days and we have decided to wait until in comes in as M has some new eye glasses coming in also. We might as well wait for everything. She is also expecting a book that she had printed of the process that she and her sister went through in making their quilts of photos that M had taken. Two very beautiful quilts.
It is a warm afternoon but my hike is done....
1700... Hot afternoon. I tried to nap, but no way. Napping is just not my style! I just feel tired...
1900
Rib eye and baked potato for dinner... life is good.
