I love reading about history, about the past and how things once were. It is amazing to me how fast we have exploited and developed this planet. Only a few hundred years ago places like Patagonia were still very wild and untapped. Now I can sit here on this laptop and talk to you, jog into town and receive a fax and find equipment on the Fitz that may have been there for 30 or more years. My mind changes focus quickly upon the arrival of Dean Potter.
Conversation is sporadic yet fluid.
We talk of routes in Yosemite, to the story of a mastodon that was found frozen in snow and ice. Pressure is rising. Maybe we'll be climbing tomorrow. At some point, I need to motivate from this couch to pack. I think I'll just nap for a while.
