On Friday, I went to a game night at the Nelsons’. It was fun. I woke up at 4:30 on Monday to leave for a 10-day hitch. We’re working on Timberline Trail No. 12. We are near the trailhead and not backcountry like we thought. They have had bear problems and the sponsor didn’t want to tax resources near the lake. We have been working downtrail, so each day the hike is a little shorter. We are clearing out water bars and building wood water bars and check dams. It rained last evening. It rained this evening with some thunder and lightning.

On our last night, just before midnight, I heard a mountain lion roar. That made the trip for me. I spent the day putting together a gift package for my sister, running errands, and cleaning gear. I slept 12 hours last night and woke up to rain. It was so nice to know that getting out of bed wouldn’t involve putting on rain gear. It poured rain the last night and morning of the hitch, but we got to walk out in dry weather.  Monday, July 23, 2007
Today a year ago I left home to come out west. I spent the night at Land Between the Lakes, Kentucky. I wish I could have called home on this anniversary. Rock work and digging trenches is exhausting. Ten days is too long to work straight through. Thankfully, Wednesday is planned for travel. One day more! |
