6/8/08 Preparations

I thought Sunday would be a relaxed day of tying up loose ends, but the loose ends never stopped! Angela and I woke at about 8:00 AM, had our coffee and breakfast, and then worked constantly past until midnight. To quote Angela, "No matter how many lists I made, I was still up till 12:30 in the morning!"

The dogs were noticeably nervous all day. As we scurried about stuffing gear into bags, Betsy and Jackson followed closely, constantly under foot.

Angela called me into the bedroom to finalize the clothes list. Everything was sprawled out on the bed and she was buried somewhere in the heap of cotton, canvas, and Gortex.
