Chapter 36. The ugly chapter.

[caeria]

On Tuesday, I will going away into the wilds of the Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument area with a backpack, water, tent and a notebook.  I will not be returning from the wilderness for two weeks.  There will be no computer acces, no cell service, and no work.  Hell, I won't even have toilet.  The plan is to hike, study rock art with the Park

Poor Rink!

By the way, I hope you have a wonderful vacation! It sounds marvelous.

oh, man, I can't wait for this chapter!! Have a wonderful time--it sounds positively fabulous to me. :)

(shoves Severus and Draco aside.... let ME kill Dumbledore!) no clothes for Rink!! hurry, mend those sheets!

and I would never willingly consent to go where there is not even a toilet and running water. ick!

I admit, it's not a vacation that appeals to everyone. When I tell people that we're only allowed 2 liters of water a day for bathing, teethbrushing and clothes rinsing, most walk away at that point. I, however, am looking forward to getting dirty, and stinky, and tired, and probably sunburnt. At least I'll be able to get a shower at the hotel before getting back on the plane to come home. :-)

can you bring disposable baby-wipes for bathing?

[caeria]

We can and I do have a package but this is "leave no trace camping" so everything we pack in, we have to pack back out again. The less you have to carry the better.

Oh wow, there really is a heart clenching quality to this snippet of the chapter. It took a whole bunch not to get teary eyed when Rink showed the sheets. Better then being incinerated I guess? As always, well done.

On an unrelated note, have a safe and fun trip!

Ohhh, lovely snippet, poor Rink. I love your story and have been following it for awhile. Do you mind if I friend you?
