Day 191

Beautiful morning! I mean like REALLY beautiful. I stood around in awe for a while. The weather was nice and it was only slight uphill for a while before it got steep. Domino was doing ok. Not as good as I wanted her to be but she would be ok to go for a while. I could see for miles in both directions and no one else was around. I figured that I may never have another chance to ever do this in my life so I went for it. I stripped down to my shoes and my hat and walked naked hahahaha. I hung in there for about 10 minutes before freaking out and throwing my clothes back on. One of those just had to do it kind of things. For once, I wasn’t mad at the wind lol.

 

The hills were getting steeper and I was just going slowly up it. This was one of my favorite mornings so far. Not just the whole naked thing, but it was seriously amazing. Totally liberating and beautiful. A fighter jet came whizzing by too quick for me to grab a photo. Then the sound followed. I was pretty sure that the government saw my booty from a drone and they sent out Maverick to come tell me to keep my clothes on. That’s my analysis anyways.

 

Once I got over the hill the wind picked up. I put Domino in the stroller and let her ride. It was exactly downhill on the other side. It was like rolling hills that slowly got lower and lower. It was ok though. The wind was bothering me now but I just went with it. I was still in a good mood and the day was winding down anyways. I knew that I would have to set my tent up in the wind and that would be interesting. I found a huge pile of gravel and walked to the opposite side of the wind and sure enough, it served as a barrier. I set my tent up on the other side. The wind was still blowing from both sides but not nearly as hard as if I was not behind the pile of rocks. Unfortunately, I could not get my tent stakes into the ground. I had to move spots and just deal with the wind.

 

I went across the road and found a spot in the sand. The wind was blowing very hard but from only one direction. So I set up the back of the tent against the wind. I have the best protection that way. I cooked and ate my dinner inside my tent because the wind was too strong to boil water from my stove outside. I cleaned it out and then placed everything back in the stroller and got read for bed. My tent held up great and served as shelter from the wind and some rain that night also.
