Yesterday's dry-run pre-pack of Green Hornet went quite well. Now I believe that we will be able to get everything (tents, sleeping bag, clothing, food, &c., plus us -
wildwoosi,
lightfoote,
delerium3, & I - into 2 canoes and paddle 4.25 miles to Erickson's Bay to set up camp. That'll serve as this year's big Olympic Peninsula expedition for
delerium3's b-day. (Last year I took her to the
Hoh for her b-day for camping, hiking, kayaking, horseback-riding, beaching, &c. - joined by
jormundgan for some of it.)
My remaining concern concerns the weather. It's still far cooler and wetter (and windier) than ideal. Luckily there's a plan B, just in case. It still involves camping and canoeing and hiking and beaching (and Sol Duc Hot Springs at the end), but decreases the chances of dunking. We'll leave to drive a week from today (Wed, July 6), paddling out early Th morning, so there's still time for weather to shift. Time to work on weather magick! ;-)
And now to take care of last minute things 'n' stuff up here at CopperMoon before returning to home (Hive) Southward later this morning...zoom!
