Rest day musings

They always set the camp up in the center of some barren rocky plain and it often gets v windy. A mixed blessing; it's cooler but also brings the sand... sand gets everywhere, it's hard to breathe, hard to keep out of your food and eyes, and glasses always have a thin layer. You know those whirlwinds that pickup Starbucks cups in the alley? Today I watched one head towards camp where it promptly flattened 2 tents (w occupants inside) and whipped half a dozen thermarests into air. 5 min later one yellow rest was still 200 + feet in the air heading to the horizon where we lost sight!

I did some tent yoga today. At home it would be hot yoga (a bit hotter here buy drier) but here, just yoga. Nice to have a day off to relax and hit the email tent 2x. Thx for all the encouragement and well wishes. I'm not sure when email shuts down but afterwards I'll have access to comments on the blog.

Stay cool
