Rough night, pretty morning 🌄

A new milestone out here, my first bad day. The elevation was endless, the wind was cold and strong. My tent fell down three times in the night but thankfully nothing is broken. The wind has easedWeiterlesen
Snails pace
14. Mai in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C
Today was painfully slow going. The side effects of my altitude medication really knocked me around. Fingers crossed for a better day tomorrow. At least the views were epic as I struggled my wayWeiterlesen
ReisenderNear constant peeing 😅 Between the tent falling down and the bathroom stops, I was up 9 times in the night. I was exhausted and probably severely dehydrated the next day

My first rattle snake experience 🐍

He didn't rattle until I was right next to him. I jumped and gave us both a fright. He continued to rattle at me as I hastily made some distance between us

ReisenderWow that looks like a big rattlesnake, it’s got it’s eye on you, be careful getting close with them though
