Executed my plan this weekend. Today I added sweat equity performing trail maintenance at Swampy. Cleared drains and built many, purpose is to get the water off the trail quickly. Enjoyed socializing w/ 2 crew leaders, I provided beer. Then the shits driving back down to Bend to turn my bike in for service appointment then drive back up to Dutchman snow park for departure on my annual overnight somewhere. I hiked trails I ride. Camped at crossing of middle fork of Tumalo creek which provided my filtered water. Hiked maybe 4 miles. Put a hustle on packing. Made it to camp just before 5. Set up camp, fixed glop for dinner, and cleaned up. Discovered internet signal for this post.
No mosquitoes. Chilly. Did forget long underwear bottoms. Miss Sonicare.
Bed time.
