Day #7: Packed!


A short walk with Angel before I head to the dark side of the Moon.

Addendum: I'm at the Library in St. Helena. When I stepped on the scale in the Monastic Dorm, I was happy to learn that I've lost 21 pounds since I was invited on this hike. Since the hike starts on Tuesday, I don't think I'm gonna make my 30 pound weight loss goal.

My fully loaded backpack weighs 24 pounds. It would be nice to lose the same amount as I'm carrying on my back. Call it even.

Did another significant hike today -- about an hour, mostly uphill -- to our project site. And a lot of walking around the facility here. My thighs are very sore from today and yesterday, especially going down hill. I would much, much rather walk uphill than down.
I'm ready to watch your violet pack ascending before me, Allan.... ;-)

Ian,

Sorry, I have the last place in line reserved. :)

Much walking about www.ranchomastata.com and on our project site today, but a breather from the last two. My thighs are really sore -- I think I overdid it Wednesday and Thursday. Arnica topically....

Arnica. Good idea! Add that to the benadryl, ibuprofen, vicodin and penicillin I'm bringing... :)
