I didn't have walking sticks in those days, which looked very helpful in your creek-fording video.<br /><br />I could well appreciate your escape to a hotel that one night; it reminded me of when we were camping on the desert and the wind was so ferocious our tent wanted to blow away, and we could not sleep. We couldn't do much outdoors, either, because the sand in the eyes and camera lens and food... At those times, it is lovely to know that one can do something else.GretchenJoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-87631924928913997142019-07-31T12:26:52.937-06:002019-07-31T12:26:52.937-06:00Hike away.

I'm certain I would've done the same thing when I backpacked as a younger thing long ago. I'm to much of a chicken today, bwak, bwak. I loved reading about your whole adventure. I can hear the wind that knocked you around, my gosh. And, yes, I would've stayed in a hotel too. You have me wanting to backpack!Su-sieee!
