every time i come back from a backpacking trip i suffer from backcountry withdrawls. i miss being out there in the woods. as harsh as the conditions were this past weekend… i had a fucking blast. i felt so hardcore. i even slipped and fell on my ass a couple times. i cant believe i survived a snow storm in nothing but a poncho to protect me from the elements. i learned my lesson… so on monday i took advantage of the memorial day sale and bought myself a marmot precip jacket… totally on sale and totally rain and snow proof! my backpacking gear and clothes/boots were soooo dirty that i had to lay them all out on my drive way and hosed them down like a dirty dog. there is no way i’m putting my dirty ass clothes into my high tech washer like that. my freshly hosed off backpack is the cleanest its been in like 365 days! i am so proud of myself!! now i just gotta leave my sleeping bag in the sun for another day or so then i’ll be ready to repack everything again. oh, i dunno how long it’ll take my boots to dry. that thing is totally dripping wet.

i still need to hose off my trekking poles… but i left that in mo’s car. god dammit, i never forget anything. i cant believe i left those behind.

mt hood is happening in like 3 weeks, i am sooo fucking stoked. i cant wait!!!


fuck yea!!!

on june 14th, i am walking across that stage and i am not looking back! i will be freeeeeeeeeeeee!!
