Taken a zero on the trail. The sun is out and I am drying out. I posted yesterday that I have never been so wet. Well, I was talking about the clothes on my back, my socks and shoes. I had plenty of plastic bags to keep my gear inside my pack dry. Luckily I had enough forethought to pack my night shirt and extra socks inside my sleeping bag - so I had dry clothes to put on inside the tent.
I spent all day eating my packed food and reading the 2nd Harry Potter book that my baby sent to me at Big Bear City. Ate a Mountain House Beef Stew for dinner. My daughter April sent it to me for my birthday. It was heavenly!
The fog cleared up so I walked up to the top of a hill and guess what I saw - a valley with lots of civilization. I ran back to my tent, got my cell phone out and called Shirley. What a relief for both of us. I'm feeling much better now. The rolling in my stomach has eased up and I feel a lot stronger. I'll be hiking the 18 miles to Hikertown (another hiker friendly place) tomorrow.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard

Glad you pulled through Carl that even sounded scary just reading it!
I guess you can read and do all the research but you can never be 100% prepared for everything. Mother Nature can sure send some wicked stuff our way. Take care.
