Our cook and her husband were away this week, so we were responsible for cooking our own meals before and after traverse. It really wasn't as bad as it sounds, but I was on breakfast two days in a row which was a bit early. Getting up at 6:15 when I usually get up at 7 is a change. And the frost: Oh the frost. It's been so cold in the morning, but the sky has been blue all day long, so that makes it worth freezing at night for.
Yesterday we were dropped off right on the banks of the Tanzilla River, the main drainage out to the Pacific. We then proceeded to hike up. A lot of up. And not a lot of horizontal. While this sounds brutal, it wasn't that bad. I really enjoy going up, especially when you don't mess around and just get the 'up' done. Steep isn't too bad. We had a lot of bedded sediments, and dreams of fossils. No fossils though but not for lack of trying. Beautiful weather, sunny all day long, warm, a light breeze....pretty much what this whole mapping thing was sold to me as. Finally! :) We finished the day up on top of the ridge. I'll put this up on my GoogleMap in a day or two, it's been late nights here with having to do dinner and dishes.
Today was good too. Beautiful weather again (super frosty in the morning, it definitely freezes at night up here right now). Can't wait for tomorrow!
