Day 3



This little guy was so nice to hold still for a picture. there is another lizard out here that moves too fast to be photographed
I rocked the crocs again today. It was so windy today that walking on the flats felt like walking uphill due to the headwind. It kept it from getting too hot but was pretty intense at times. 
Windblown and tired! But not sun burnt...yipee!

I am on an outrageously beautiful lightly treed ridge. The sunset is orange. I am so blissfully tired.
 My blister is getting bigger even though it does not bother me in my crocks. I drained it tonight just to see what happens. I think i will take a zero day tomorrow...or at least a nero. (A nero is a day with almost no miles walked). I have 3 miles to town tomorrow then I can shower and stay at the campground. I experimented with pre soaking my diner and not cooking it. I think i will ditch my stove and fuel in my bounce box.
i felt confident today, like "Ive got this". I am figuring out how to use each phone ap to its best use and cross referencing with the topographic map and the water report. Electrolytes are the key. I drank a ton of water yesterday but was still dehydrated because it was plain water. Today i used electrolyte mix twice and i feel much better. I think last night when I felt so ill, that it was due to hypo naturemia. My food tends to be low salt but I added salty bouillon to my dinners and the salty dinner last night helped me feel better. I am so glad that I brought salted pumpkin seeds to eat. Out here, salt is good! I am getting shin splints in my right shin so l i am most definitely taking a day off.
It was Soulful Sunday today. That is my dance church that i go to most Sundays. I had a feeling that it was today (i already am clueless about the day of the week!) and then my alarm went off to remind me. I danced a slow music-less hip stretching dance at mid day and then danced with music on a pine tree ridge at sunset. What a soulful Sunday!
This was the prettiest scat. I guess this animal can't digest the seeds and just carries them around...to "plant" in new locations.
