Day 20 Mile 209-222

Bend into the High Desert

Up and showered and out to the 20! Walking out of town I ate at the Breakfast Club and chatted with some folk. Knowing that I have 45 miles to the next mark of civilization in Brothers, I drank plenty of water, filled up my 2 liter camel pack and bought two 1 liter arrowhead waters to carry along too. Pushed out of town and saw a baby tornado twisting along the road. about 5 miles out I landed in the middle of a blizzard! Hail and wind like crazy and I got my rain gear on and tredged forward. I wanted to do over 20 miles today, but with the weather and the late start I only made 13. I’m up in the high desert and camped under a pine tree in a nice patch here. The temperature will drop very low tonight but I’m all warm and good in my tent and sleeping bag. I am downloading an audiobook from itunes right now and will listen to it on my ipod tonight... The future is happening now and its just too cool:-)
