I just want to go now! I’m leaving on Friday. These last couple weeks the days have drug on sooooooooooo      s    s    s    l    l    l    l    o    o    o    w    w    w    w    l    l    l    l    l   y    y    y……..I really just don’t care about all that work crap right now. I just want to go!!! Now!!!

The longer it takes the more crap that finds its way into my pack, too. It’s so dang heavy. But it might rain next weekend and for once I want to have adequate rain gear. And my food is so heavy. Do I really need to eat??? Should I take the Sriracha out? Does it matter how much 2 ounces of Sriracha weighs when I’ll have to lug 3 or 4 liters of water anyway?

Friday just can’t come soon enough!

Yup, I know that feeling. Time is just heavy. It seems nothing satisfies the urge to get it done, to get out there to the freedom of the hills, to hear the patter of rain drops on your tarp. Yup, I know that feeling. Not to worry, I packed my gear three times already. I’ll pack it three times more. It never seems to get any heavier, nor, lighter, nor better. Yup, I know that feeling.

I’m with you – I pack and unpack and repack and unpack and pack again…take this, no, leave that; wait, I forgot this!  No I didn’t, I wasn’t going to take it…..

And yes, time seems to go soooooooooooo sloooooooooooowly when there’s a trip around the corner!

 

Have fun!

My plan is to hit the PCT at Campo and if I have enough time, I have a crazy Lake Fire detour Terry Sparks sent me that sends me off through the desert to Yucca Valley. Oh yeah, I’m a gonna die! (or just hitchhike.)
