So much has been happening every day that I'm pretty certain I won't do much updating here until after the trip ends. I'm keeping up with my journal (it's almost up to date) so I won't forget all my experiences before I get the chance to share them, and there are SO many photos already that I'll never get through them all.
Right now I'm in Moab, UT (mountain biking capital of the US), taking a break from trying to wrangle all of my gear and plan my meals and not be so nervous. This will be my first float trip, and my longest backcountry trip so far. I've done 3-night trips but those were with Clara and in familiar territory. I'll have my SPOT unit in tracking mode, I'm sure there will be other folks on the river, and unfamiliar territory or no, I know what I'm doing. I know this is going to be an awesome trip that I'll always be glad I did; I just wish my nerves would shut up already.
It's times like this that make me glad I'm a technology whore and ensure that I am able to make blog posts from anywhere on my space phone.
ReplyDeleteRegarding photos, it's funny that a digital camera still sort of gets treated like a film camera in the sense that you don't really get to see the pictures until you're back at home. I barely peeked at my photos on my last trip to CA until I was home and ready to edit them.
And lastly, traveling is stressful all the time! I have travel anxiety dreams basically all the time. I don't know if that helps at all, haha.
