Hot morning heading out of town. Peet's stop, extra shot. Target in Livermore? Ooops, missed our exit on 99. Massive traffic jam at Park entrance. Valley closed? Craziness at Crane Flat. Overpriced gas. More traffic en route to Valley. Caffeine jitters - still! Jumped out of 4Runner and into river. Twice. Took over the driving with soggy pants. Found Jenny. Schlepped to her place. Snagged a bike and rode to the Village. Easy permit obtaining. Yelled at dumb tourists on bike path. Back to Boystown. Rafting! Last day on the river. DNC discount on raft. Took backpacks of beer onto river. Drinking. Smoking. Sun. Splashing. Paddling. Still feeling the caffeine. River was loooooow, and five in a raft. One submerged digital camera, assumed dead. Bailed on raft to slackline. Hugged Zara. Sun going below valley walls. Chilly in wet clothes. Walked back to Curry.
Drinking continued. Not me; lightweight. DNC discounted pizza. Saw lots of peeps from '04. Sleepy Michelle. Drinky Paul. Back to Boystown. Both crash. Sitting on Jenny's porch. Talking. Happy being back. Full moon tonight. Crashed before it climbed the valley walls. Slept in Jenny's bed. Twin bed for two! Little sleep for Jen. Long walk for midnight pee. Looking forward to High Country.
