I Would Just Like To Say...
...that I am now on top of a mountain. Viz:
Up here I am on Verizon's network, so I took the opportunity to reactivate my EVDO card and to post this picture which was taken of me by a nice Australian lady.
I've been climbing all day, mostly at a steady 2.5 mph. The legs are up to it, it's just slow. I finally broke out the iPod, which made the time go by a bit faster.
Now: I must pack things up and batten down the hatches a little, because it looks like there might be some rain headed my way.
I'm probably going to end up camping at Gertie's Store near Vesuvius this evening, unless my legs feel well enough to make it to Mallard Duck campground a few miles further on.
LATER:
Apparently, that wasn't the top. This is:
Raven's Roost, elevation 3,215 feet. There weren't any nice Australian ladies around, so I just did something silly with the camera by myself.
