August 16:Talked Into Another One

The plan was to hang out for the afternoon, and head back to the trail late afternoon. But since most of the crew had already decided to take a zero, come late afternoon, we decided to stay. It was pretty crazy around their house. It was Chris' (Tripod) bday on Monday, and he was planning a party for that evening. Imagine doing that, watching your two small kids...all with 10 extra people around. He had some friends coming in for just a few hours, but a few more were going to camp in the backyard as well.

I was feeling pretty peopled out, so I borrowed Thrust's (hiker friend) book, Children of Men, and hid upstairs in the room we were staying in. It was was nice and relaxing with nothing pressing to do. Mark said it was the first day he almost felt bored.

People started showing up in the late afternoon for the party. It was pretty low key and most of us went to bed pretty early, anticipating an early start.

It wasn't the first, and may not be the last time we get talked into a zero...
