I woke up and looked at my watch: 5:30. Woke up early once again. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if I weren't camped near other people, but not wanting to wake anyone at what may be described as a crazy hour, I sat in my tent for another hour and tapped at …
I woke up super early in the lodge. It seems I've lost the ability to really sleep in now, damn. I felt a little nauseous so all I could do was lay in bed and hope it went away. I laid like this for a couple hours until I decided to get up and get …

I woke up at around 7:30, yay I slept in! Today was my first zero day. The prospect seemed weird to me, I don't have to work, I don't have to hike, I don't have a house or computer or house cleaning to do. So what does a person do? Buying groceries certainly won't take …
