Hiking

2 September (2)

Denver was cool – I woke up in a rest area (another great night – 8 hours with limiting wake-ups) – I hung out in a Panera for most of the day (eating French Onion Soup in a Bread Bowl – which used to be a common staple – now which is TOO much for me to eat) –

At 5pm – I met up with Jacqueline and we went for a hike in the mountains – a long hike…it was nice, but very steep – I was thankful that I was acclimated at this point in the trip – otherwise, I would have died.

We hiked up to a nice spot and then hung out for a while – doing some stream diversions – and then hiked down in the dark – that night I left around 9 or so and drove until I got sleepy – then passed out in a rest area. I got up that morning at around 5 and just freaking Marathoned – It was Friday and I wanted to leave Nashville for Chattanooga Saturday morning – I drove about 20 hours – before arriving in Nashville, only to pass out….
