We wake to the breathtaking scene of clouds hovering low over valleys and kissing the feet of distant mountains.

Princess asks if I slept ok. She tells that I tossed and turned all night, moaning with every movement. It sounds like I might have kept her awake most of the night. Our tents were close together. All the tents were close together. Tugboat and Bama didn’t say anything about my noises, so I didn’t ask.

My mind and body are in content agony. Not necessarily because of the trail or the hike, but because there’s something wrong with my body and I don’t yet know what it is.
