Woke up at 7, felt pretty good, so did Aaron although he slept till 9:30 or so. We had some breakfast and today have a long hike ahead of us, about 14 miles or so. This morning I was out enjoying the morning eating some walnuts and this Blue Jay came to hang out. It kept flying down about 2 feet from me, I would give it a walnut and it would keep coming back, pretty cool experience. Thus cintinued for about an hour. That was the extent of entertainment for a while probably, things are so simple out here...
If Aaron keeps "sleeping in" you guys wont be back until August!! ;-) Love you both! So glad you're enjoying peace and quiet. Xo
ReplyDeleteStrong work out there Baloo and Mowgli.
ReplyDeleteHad just an insane day today. Passport application was returned 6 weeks after sending it out and somehow I found a way to get my consult service covered at the hospital so I could drive down to the National Passport Agency to get an expedited passport to get up to Banff. Really looking forward to the simplicity that you talk of. Focusing on the essentials...nutrition, hydration, shelter from the elements when needed, and the physical beatings of countless miles of trail.
Hope the trail "beatings" are treating you well. After hoofing it 15 miles at elevation with a 70 lb pack I am sure you are saying "thank you sir, may I have another".
