A day off :)
I tested out my rain jacket in the shower. Yep, it leaks; it really
didn't take long before my tshirt underneath was soaked. So, I read a
bunch of reviews and finally decided on a new rain jacket (Marmot
Super Mica). It has been ordered and will hopefully arrive tomorrow.
I am also switching out my sleeping bag and clothes stuff sack for a
lightweight drysack. I don't want things to get wet as I approach the
unpredictable NH weather and the Maine stream fords.
I started to look at my options for a follow-up trip in September.
Yosemite is a likely candidate, but I will still need to work out
details as I get closer to Katahdin.
I had sent a few real people clothes (non-hiking clothes) to my
parents before I got back on the trail. First, it is weird wearing
cotton. It is the first time I have cotton on since May. Second, I
lost even more weight and forgot to include a belt in my suitcase.
Good thing I don't have to go anywhere in public.
I cooked dinner, got caught up on email, and took care of other
chores. My brother and his girlfriend showed up late. I am taking a
second day off tomorrow to finish a few additional chores.
