A Baseline Per Se

So, this morning I got up from my bed which I will not see for a long while. I made breakfast to the sound of a jackhammer which is in our backyard demo-ing the pool deck. Now I could go on here about leaving behind the sounds of industry and city life for the sweet tweet of the song bird and melodious wilderness etc. but really it was not that bad after I closed my window. And then I thought jeez, windows are nice, won't have that either. Anyway the basic reason for this entry is to give a standard of writing with which you may judge my level of sanity as I progress northbound on the PCT. I plan on going unsane from time to time just bear with me, I should mention I tend to hallucinate at higher elevations when I sleep. So maybe this thing won't be as boring to read as I thought. I start tomorrow from the Mexican border about 2 miles from Campo, CA at sunrise.... So to be completely honest I actually have yet to hike 20 miles in a single day in my life. But that will change tomorrow, and then after that I can say I have yet to hike 20 miles in a day, two days in a row. That will change the day after tomorrow...that's the plan anyways :) Alright, I still got packages to send, things to pack, and I gotta get down to San Diego this afternoon for pre-lift off. See ya
