the trip home.
26 March 2020
i woke before day break, despite my room not having an outside window. sleep didn't come easily. i felt like i was suffocating.

25 March 2020
i am so glad i stayed in the shelter. torrential downpours all night and fog so thick that i had to pull out my tent and drape it over my sleeping bag.
24 March 2020
it rained much of the night, but shortly before daybreak the rain subsided. i took the opportunity to pack up everything except the tent, giving it time to air out.
23 March 2020
slept very well in the budget inn. the beds were flat and dry, what more do i really need? clothes, socks and shoes: dry. weather check via window: very rainy.
22 March 2020
a cold night at blue mountain shelter, but i stayed pretty warm by converting my quilt to full bag mode.
21 March 2020
a blustery night with occasional rain. didn't stop the owls from hooting almost the entire way through.
20 March 2020
woke early to the sounds of others stuffing their gear after a not particularly restful sleep. i think i had my post dinner tea a little too late.
19 March 2020
woke to high clouds. did not sleep well in the shelter. everyone snored.
18 March 2020
went to bed around 21:00 last night and shortly after a barred owl started hooting just above my tent.
17 March 2020
just getting here has been such a trip.
23 February 2020
the planning is done. my gear has been assembled and tested. in just under a month i'll be dropped off far from home and i'll be taking my first steps toward katahdin.
18 February 2020
i might as well start off with the obligatory gear post. the more i look into planning my 2020 through hike, the more i realize it's going to go out the window minutes after i depart.
