Monday, July 31, 2006Status UpdateWell, I caught a cold at Mount St. Helens. It hasn't been severe, but it's been strong enough to be annoying - demanding my body sleep and then sleep more, progressing from that to a sore throat. I played NERO anyway (of course!). It was much fun. :)Yesterday I moved from the campsite to the hotel. The ONE good thing of the day. The lady behind the desk was SO nice and accommodating, and let me choose the room I wanted despite my reservation. The room is nice. But yesterday so many many many little things went wrong, all culminating in my spraining an ankle as I (tried to) walk from the hotel to the Science Fiction Museum only four blocks away. I managed to hobble back to the hotel, and pretty much kept myself chair bound for six hours before heading to bed. Today I got out to one of the Rainforests. I was determined. 5:15pm car rental return, three hour drive each way, and sprained ankle would not keep me from it! The Ranger I talked to was wonderful, and gave me a drive route to do as well as two short and (supposedly) handicap accessible trails to shamble through. I also got to see the largest Spruce in the world, around 1000 years old! Pictures coming soon... :) Tomorrow, my third attempt on the Sci-Fi Museum! |
