We're staying in tent cabins around 9,000 ft. It has been getting around 35 degrees right before sunrise. So I have been starting a fire at 5 or 5:30 in the small wood stove in the tent. Then crawling back under the covers while the tent heats up.
The stars have been really spectacular. The milky way is like We haven't seen in a long long time. The moon is headed for a new moon in a few days so the stars will be great while we're up high.
We will be leaving to hike the five high Sierra camps in the morning. The camps will provide breakfast and dinner and a bunk to sleep in. The hikes between the camps will be hard but we think we're ready. Altitude issues have faded over the last couple of days.
Our day hikes have been spectacular. I'll try to get some photos in here but it is a slow connection. We just can't believe we are getting so used to being away from home and living on the road. We are getting stronger and younger every day! Stuff that used to seem so important ... Well are just never thought about but used to cause such stress .. No more. We have tried to identify anything that is causing us stress on the road and have made up little sayings to defuse or to blow it off and laugh about it. That is working well.
It's a good life! We do miss all our friends and really enjoy hearing from you when you write to us. See you all later.
