Never Look Back?

 
They say you should never look back. I'll amend that to say, unless the view is pretty. Sunset in the rear view mirror. Nothing spectacular, but it signaled the end of the last day of preparations. Tomorrow, I hike.

I drove east tonight to reach Connie and Jerry's house. We talked maps and water drops. They are also going to bring me a food drop in the middle of the first stretch so that gets 3 pounds of weight out of the pack!

Shamu is packed and waiting. Connie will drop me at the trailhead in the morning.

My hope is to be able to post a couple of pictures from the phone to Facebook each day, but the blog will be silent until my day off in the middle of the hike. Thanks for all your encouragement and well-wishes and prayers!
