Spent most of the day doing laundry and fixing stuff. My hose and bladder system is an endless source of frustration. I have to rethink that setup someday. The Salty hat has received a new fix in the form of a sock cut to the right lenght and taped inside. I want this hat to make it to Canada in some form.

I finally found some proper DEET. Bought two bottles. The Botanical’s are going into the trash. So happy to be stocked with some real chemical vengeance !

The hiker hunger has definitely kicked in. I’m eating everything in sight!. Getting a bus ride back to the trail on Tuesday. Should be restarting around 2097.

Meanwhile, Stormtrooper has been texting me. He will arrive at Shelter cove tomorrow (1906). That kid is going to catch me soon.
