In case you are wondering. Day 1 will not be posted because it was just a boring hike up an alpine valley in order to camp at the base of a climb to Thompson Lake. I never even took any images. I think we all know why too. I mean the reason day 1 is missing. After we get used to working. Brain-numbing soul-crushing work where we are reduced to a brain-dead state. It takes a day or two to come out of the post work blues. Once you do everything becomes worth taking note.

Takin er easy for all you sinners
