Day #1: Down the Canyon Twice...

Looking tired. Worried. Exhausted at the turnaround place...




Nine days until I board that plane to climb the mountain in Costa Rica. To celebrate the New Year, I took a two hour and forty-nine minute hike down the Canyon. And then up. Then back down again. Then up---followed by taking the long way home up two additional climbs. Angel the dog didn't understand why we were climbing the Canyon twice. It took her more than a little bit of coaxing to talk her into heading down the abyss a second time.

And I only stopped to rest for two minutes. An achievement to make the onerous Canyon hike without stopping. Although I left the backpack at home. Raining today...

We are off to a good start.
