Happy Birthday Sully!

Up by 8am. My thermometer said 31F. No sense getting going to early it’s cold. I think I’ll hike the Holly Ruin Trail today. Four miles one way. I may go the whole way, I may not. Class A hike. Day pack, chair, binos, cell phone, both poles. No camera because I’m using phone for GPS and camera. One less thing. No 10mm cause I don’t want the weight.

10am rolls by and finally I get on the trail. Simple  trail  can’t get lost, just follows the mesa and canyons walls with rock cairns every 20-30 yards. Couple miles in I get overtaken by Bob. Ended up bullshitting for 1/2 hour. Let him pass and gave him 5 minutes on my timer(click). Never caught him or saw him till the ruins. I walked down to a petroglyph site by the ruins. Two trekking poles are working out rather nice. Makes me just that much steadier. My pack worked well today also. At the end of the day I  feel like I walked eighteen holes when my game wasn’t on. Total distance today 10.17 miles.

Grilled chicken with loaded potato salad and a English muffin for dinner. I was hungry. Oh and a gala apple for dessert. I have been sleeping good. My bed with all those blankets is toasty warm in the mornings. Nice to lay there and doze. Tomorrow, another hike or two and get packed to move on Sunday. I’m sore and tired tonight, good night.
