| john calling someone |
Warm sun, YES!. Another cold and wet night. The rain stopped before I fell asleep. Carl has joined us and will be on for about 12 days. We started off pretty slow today with a goal mileage of 9 miles. I am pretty sure my quest to Durango is fading. Thats ok, I know I can make it. We stocked firewood of all night. I thought about how we rely on trees and their dead wood to survive. We never thank them. Cut myself with my knife right at a spot that could easliy infect so Neo and a bandage. Must be careful!I feel pretty good today, back flaired up a little but not till later in the hike.

Food: I am craving meat bad! We finally found a stream big enough to have some trout in it and I caught one. I ate it as quick as I could. Gutted, cooked and eaten in about 10 minutes. Only one wasn't enough for my carne lust. It was delicious though.
It amazes me as one pain goes away another takes it's place.

Met a Guido today on the trail. Coming from Breck, said he was hiking to Denver then would get a ride back to Konosha pass to hike to Durango from there. When we approached each other on the trail I said "Howdy!" and stopped. He stopped and said "Hello, You thru hiking?" "Yep" I respond and say " My name is longshadow." As I outstretch with my arm to shake hands. He doesn't respond and says, "I don't shake on the trail, what have you done since you have washed your hands?I respond "Makes sense I guess." I did think it odd that you'd worry about the hands of others in the wild. Later found out after he talked to Cirque and the professor and told them he's had trail sex a variety of times. Hummm but won't shake hands. Ok. Well, I hope tonight will be warmer.
