Run to the hills

Well, I was away in the high country of the Sierras for the past week, and it was amazing. A detailed (and filled with beautiful pictures) post to come soon, but in the meantime I will just say that:
-a week without hearing cars is lovely
-sleeping on the ground makes your hips hurt like hell
-Japanese robo-kitty flashlights rock
-when you go to the bathroom in the woods, mosquitoes will bite your butt (as Mr. Monster put it, "nature's tramp stamp")
-carrying 40 pounds on your back for 6.5 miles is not as easy as it sounds
-a week of beautiful nature and amazing people can send you spiraling into withdrawal once it's over.

More soon!
