456 AM comes around early every day for me. That’s the time I programmed my clock radio
to wake me each morning for work. We
want to get an early start on the river so I didn’t change my wake-up time. This morning I got right up; not the usual
lie in bed for an additional 10 to 15 minutes readying my brain for work. Today we are back to fly fishing, the first
time since our weekend on the San Juan this past February; too long.
This is my first camping trip with my camper. I am excited and a bit nervous; do I have
everything?, will I remember to turn things on and off at the appropriate time?,
will I remember to lock the refrigerator before driving? – no, but the results
were not too bad. Do we have enough food?
– more than enough – one issue settled.
Up to this point the range of my hikes has been dictated by leaving,
hiking and returning home the same day.
I have been looking to expand my hiking area by adding day(s) to my explorations. I’ve never really been a hotel person when
getting out for hiking/photographing or fishing, not that I don’t like hotels,
generally they just aren’t located at the trailhead or trout stream of
choice. So for the past period of time I
have been looking for a large pickup and an in-bed truck camper.
