Day One

Well I made it through day one, but not without some hiccups. With
Mark Haugen's help I picked up the rental car from the airport. It
wasn't the car I wanted but it would do fine, but the trip's carbon
footprint just grew quite a bit.

Some rental benefits I was conscious of like wear and tear and no cost
worries from a break down. Then there is cruise contol and cleaning!
Both make life so much easier. Just in case you didn't know.

The drive was just fine but because of my delays I barely made it to
the camp site with daylight left, but then I had no cash. So I drove
15 miles back to Aberdeen for a cash machine.

By the time I was back it was dark and I had to put Thor's tent
together by the headlights. Oh yeah, I haven't put a tent together
since high school...and it wasn't this tent!

I made it, the tent is up and I'm in it. I didn't take any photos
today because of my time concerns. I should have much better luck
tomorrow.

Good night. Hopefully I stay dry, I can hear a storm in the
distance...find out tomorrow!
