Oh, is Your Husband Going With You?

Good thing we came to the airport extra early to grab a bite to eat... Darn San Fran is all fogged in and flights are majorly delayed. I was able to get a seat on the 11am flight that hasn't left yet. Hopefully my connection in sf to lax is clean. We'll ...

Sooo much peanutbutter
I woke up at 5am with a throbbing headache and it was raining. Normally I would just curl up and go back to sleep but my pack was hanging from a tree branch and I had to put on my rain fly. I was low on water so I put out my poncho to catch some water ...

Port Angeles to Los Angeles-Day 2
Get up. Take a walk to Starbucks for some caffeine. Then drop the room key off at the front desk. I ask the desk clerk (same one as last night) what kind of room do you get for $22. Bare bones room. No TV. Most share a bath. And usually trouble. Now I ...
