Yesterday I had a great hike at West Tyson Park; best ever.  For some crazy reason I forgot my hiking poles and then decided to put in my ear buds and listen to music while hiking.  Set a great pace and hiked 4 miles up and down some hills in the woods with a 20+ lb pack on my back.  The weather was great and it’s finally starting to get green around here.

I got my registered thru hiker tag today.  There’s no turning back now.  

I went camping with two friends last night and am now hiking in Washington State Park. Here’s a picture:

My pack was not waterproof so I made a pack cover today. Ultrasil is awesome; the cover weighs under 3 ounces.

I also made this cool little receptacle for my tarp that holds the hiking pole.

I wonder what I will miss the most while hiking.  Guess what I think I’ll miss the most:

• Toilets🚽
• Warm baths🛀
• Television📺
• Fast food🍟
• Computers💻
• Carbonated beverages 🍹
