As I type this, I should instead be drifting off to sleep 8 miles in the Uinta wilderness. Instead I am blogging.
Son number 3 and I went (or rather attempted) into the Naturalist Basin today. About two miles in his shoulders were hurting. It seems the pack he was using is a POS. I inspected it......shifted gear......and decided he was right. My pack on the other hand performed admirably. The backs of my hands are sunburned and my neck is a touch pink, but I would have made it.
Oh well, tomorrow I am off and it's a holiday. I think I might sleep outside. Honestly, it's probably a good thing I didn't make it. My conditioning is none to good and it would have taken everything I had. Next year no screwing around.
In fact, I will start losing weight right now. More to come...........
