46 2517.1 7/30/2021 sunny, very hot. Slept until 4:40 which is late for me. Had three 500’ climbs and then one 1000’ climb. They wear me out. Also I didn’t put up my umbrella and the sun was beating down on me. Got to Justin about 1:20 so I did well to complete 19 miles. I was dehydrated and drank soda after soda including a bottle of water. I switched tents. I now have a Big Agnes UL1 single person tent. It’s tiny and narrow but I’ll make do f0r the next 30 or less days. It reminds me of my Zpacks Hexamid BUT SMALLER. We set it up once, took it down together and then I did it by myself. I’m sleeping in it tonight. I have so many habits that now need to change. And a whole new tent to learn about. Justin got fresh trout and it was delightful with rice. Thanks sweetheart your meals and company mean a lot to me. I only have 440 miles to go. Also he was unable to get an advance permit so he must get a “walk-in” one. So our plans are going to be very fluid. Time for bed. Night night.
