The Pleasant Mountain backpack-shakedown-after-repair succeeded more than anticipated. Thirty pounds this time, hauled up 1500 feet in 100 minutes. No injuries, no blisters, no insect bites, no shirt fraying. It was a hazy view at the top with one other hiker stranger wearing a black jogbra and sporting a very pale abdomen. That and multiple belly button piercings. She wished me a good day and ran off down the hill. I lingered to take photos and drink the remainder of the water.
Jim asked why didn't I just cut the loops off the part of the velcro that stuck to my shirts. A man of simple solutions.
Jim and I are one on this. That was my first thought. The other was you need sewing practice for the San Juan hike.
