4th

By
Went to Bristol, RI for the fourth of july this weekend. They had a parade this morning, and apparently they take the 4th very seriously. It was their 220th annual parade. Check out this link if you doubt me. There were alot of really good marching bands from Minnisota, and some really cool old fire engines. One of them was even pulled by a team of 6 clydesdales. Those things are huge, taller than me by a long shot. The patriots also had the superbowl trophy and a couple of cheerleaders. Good stuff, It's a little bit more patriotic around here then back in MT or CA, but much crappier fireworks.

   Destination: Erica Bruennle for sleeping, Loffelstertz Lake for Eating 11km, 46 minutes. Fast roads Temperature: down to 0, a little frost in the morning but not much.  OR Intersteller Bivy, EE 20 deg quilt, Thermarest Xtherm, Rumpl, Rab Dagwalkinjacket Three scoops of Huel still wasn't enough, but the Cajun pasta was pretty good. Ate dinner by the lake, but it was too windy to be comfortable sleeping there.  Will likely try and stay at a trekking Erlebnis place next time with a proper campfire. We'll see.  Sleeping was cold, slept with the Rumpl on top of the quilt/bivy which probably compressed the down. Managed a reasonable night's sleep either way. Sleep system still needs work.. Blaek coffee is great, and two is more than enough.
