The hoot owls are crazy tonight! I’d never heard so many before. Really interesting. Today was an easy hike but because we left at 10:30 (to avoid the rain) every time we looked at our watch it was two hours later than we thought it should be so it felt a bit long.
We passed a lot of the time today by recounting stories or books we know. Jamie told me the storyline for Fallout (the videogame) and I started introducing him to some John Irving characters. Fun.
The Shelter tonight is crowded with the same crew from yesterday. It’s a fun group. Last night they had lots of whiskey to mourn the death of the fawn outside of Palmer (news travels on the trail). The whiskey then provoked a philosophical debate about life. The hiker lifestyle however isn’t conducive to any socializing past 9:30 so even with the wake, philosophies, and whiskey all was quite by 9:45.
What a life we lead!
