Two to too one 1.

Day EightyEight, September 13, 9 Miles
At Mile 1740, Poptart 640/1000
Another drag assy attempt to leave town. We're getting really good/bad at this. RT left early to do his extra five miles on the highway. In a series of food related building stops Hawkeye, Kombucha and myself went Coffee Shop, Safeway, Chinese, got really tired and wanted to nap, Natural Food Supermarket and finally, WalMart. Got a new camera which is pretty much exactly the same as my old one, the only difference being that it actually works. Not bad for $90, love America for that. Also got a new watch for $5 feat. Spiderman. My Rs350 Nepali watch had finally called it quits after yet another unintended drenching/drop/exposure to below-freezing temperatures. Saw Coach for the first time in forever and Lost and Jack too. Got some $1 Limeaid from WalMart but didn't try 'n drink it all at once, we all know what happened last time I did that vomit. My last town duty was to see where my shoes had been sent. Not good news. Not sure what to do about that.
Hitch was a pain but we got back up to Monarch Pass in time to see Fugitive who'd been hauling to catch the H.E.R.D. and a rendezvous with his brother. Back to the CDT, beautiful trail and easy hiking. Kombucha fell over. The Sun set magnificently. Purple and orange, lighting up the sky, the trees and my life.
Happy as usual.
Fin?
