Thought I would work on my tan after feasting on bacon, eggs, bread, and Minute Rice. Weather was quite warm. The radiant brilliance of the sun felt good agains my face and body.I yelled out a rebel yell and probably scared the bejeezus out of everyone at the campsite. "It's okay folks! I just had to do it!"
My RV neighbors across from my campsite are good people. They are retired and are just living the life. We chat about life in general. I told them my story as to what has transpired in the course of almost 3 months. They have two nephews in the Army serving in Iraq. They are about to rotate out and come home for the holidays. They have two dogs with them. I offered both dogs a piece of bacon and my did I make new friends! I had two little shadows everywhere I went.
My whole day was spent cleaning up the site and putting away the non-essentials to get ready for my drive back to reality on Sunday. When all was done, I downed my traditional two cans of Fosters that I always have for my birthday (due to yesterday's adventure I had to postpone my celebration) as well as some Jack Daniel! Then it was a Mountain House meal of spaghetti with fresh minced garlic and parmesan cheese. I just love my Jetboil system!
The winds returned and not as strong, but this time I was in my REI Half Dome tent up against the rock. Through my tent, I could see the canopy of stars on this clear late November evening.
Where I lay my head is home...
