Early morning fog gave way to another gorgeous day. Plans to go paddleboarding at Walden have already been foiled, since everyone else headed there first.

As I was nodding off last night, the final piece of the Untamed puzzle fell into place. Suddenly everything made sense - the bushwhack, the paddling sections, the "Taj Mahal" reference at TA3. I went to sleep knowing I'd figured it all out.

And of course, when I woke up this morning, I didn't remember any of it.

Cool, dry, pleasant. Why can't we have this weather NEXT week?

Much less humid after two inches of moisture precipitated out of the air yesterday. Realized a little too late that a tree leaning across the trail that I'd propped up six months ago had slipped down in last night's storm, and I couldn't get low enough to avoid bashing both shoulders into branches as I rode through.

Jess freaked the freak out when we encountered an older gentleman bent forward at the waist in uttanasana in the middle of the trail, not moving at all. This was even more disturbing to her than the dog in a cone that we met on yesterday's walk, which also short-circuited her canine brain.

Early-morning ride after a late night poring over maps for Untamed. Now it's time to practice carbo-loading at our own personal "waffle wonderland" T/A.
