Feeling good, feeling strong

After quiet a few days out in the bush, Aaron and I are feeling strong but tired.  Personally, I am actually starting to really find comfort in our tent, finally.  Funny how things change, priorities and all, out on the trail, you really begin enjoying the small simple things, society is so easy...  Days are relentlessly long and dry, really looking forward to some wet weather.  We both enjoyed a swim in an alpine lake that was freezing but the sun was out and we were lost in the middle of no where, no one in site.  Thank god for these lakes, Aaron and I smell very ripe...  Every one was right, it's really hard keeping up with calories, I know I have lost a bit, going to have to get Aaron a pizza every day for month after this thing. 



Desolation

Back log due to lack of service:Forced to skip this last section due to no water, we just made it through the Desolation Wilderness where we spent a couple days of R&R in the high lakes, fishing.  There's another section that this time the USFS is advising is very difficult due to lack of sustainable water sources.  Desolation was awesome.  Aaron and I are going on a surf trip up the coast very soon, where there is lots of water.  We are also planning a kayaking/fishing trip for 3 days or so...
