Thanks to Terry S. who will pick me up and together we&#8217;ll attend the course. My equipment is purchased, my prep hiking is done, my resupply plan is prepared, my suitcase is packed, I&#8217;ve gone over my resupply with my family and I&#8217;m ready to go. For the past few weeks I&#8217;ve been waking up early, that is, well before dawn. I think it&#8217;s nervous energy. This hasn&#8217;t been a problem because I just get dressed and go out and do some prep hiking. This is no longer the case. In a matter of a few days I&#8217;ll be on the actual trail and reality will be set in. I wonder if I&#8217;ll be able to sleep tonight. Hmmm.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140409-195918.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20140409-195918.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140409-195918.jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Individually number resupply items in boxes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140409-200020.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20140409-200020.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140409-200020.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Old ratty suitcase packed to the gills for snow course and trail start.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140409-200050.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20140409-200050.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140409-200050.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Out for my last early morning prep hike on the trails around my home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow I fly to Sacramento CA at 6AM to take Ned Tibbit&#8217;s Mountain Education&#8217;s Snow Basic course at Echo Lake CA (near South Lake Tahoe) from April 11-13.
