So, I'm back from the backcountry for the summer. One more night (tonight) in base camp, and then I fly home to NC tomorrow. More of an update then, I'm off to pack now. To keep you occupied, here's a meme from xarisbanana Apparently, LJ didn't like the Meme when I put it up earlier, so I'll re-do it later. Sorry, folks

So we finally got Internets back home this past Saturday, and long story short, I'm now in northern New Mexico, at Philmont, where I'll be for the next 3 months or so. I'll have internets out here in the evenings until around the 5th/6th/7th, depending on when I leave for the backcountry, not sure when that is yet ( Read more... )

Just FYI, we had a pretty severe storm here last night, and it did something screwy with our wireless network at the house, so if I'm not around for the next couple days online or via email, it's because we're trying to get that figured out.

Last Meal! After deciding to eat at Commons vs. the Union tonight, where I would have had a salad and BBQ, I had some sort of beef stuff, and a bunless hamburger w/ veggies on top. And Bacon. And with that, my week of eating no carbs is done. Carbs tomorrow!

For my penultimate carbless meal, lunch today, commons sadly got rid of the olives they had on the salad bar, so I instead ate a spinach and carrot salad, with egg and bacon bits on top. One more meal to go.
