Monumental start

That was us at 7:30 AM at the southern terminus of the PCT the monument,

 dirty girl here hello just giving you an update on our various levels of survival: physical level dirty girl is already wearing a knee brace nothing to worry about.  loose cartilage, little inflammation. tidy camper:  nagging Naroma in one of her feet and Shelly seems okay so far. mental assessment last night dirty girl is lying in her new aluminum foil tent, on her new plastic mattress, in her new beautiful emerald green Western mountaineering sleeping bag and thinking what am I doing here? I loved my old tent and was worried the new tent would not be up to par. I was laying assessing my body and feeling ouch. next morning we were greeted by rain and a very optimistic attitude happy to be walking mental attitude very good tent kept the rainout it rained all night, presently we seem to be equipment testing and it's all working out fine. we're now on our way to barrel oaks to get some water. We are at mile 23.5. It's a hilltop that's why we're doing it here .talk to you later bye.mental attitude fabulous.
