Klamath to Scotia
We woke up to birds singing and even a little sun. It was so nice to not have the rain. Our little trailer had a lot of condensation in it from being closed up. I opened a couple of windows and the screen door and I think that helped. We met the guy who was playing the guitar last night. He says he is a traveling artist and is looking for a place to settle down somewhere on the coast. He has a metal sculpture of a pirate ship in the back of his truck. Just from the few moments we talked to him it sounds like he could tell lots of stories about being a cowboy. Today I have been a little bit of an emotional mess. I had a few small things go wrong that should not have thrown me off but they did. For example I got off on the wrong exit and could not find one to get back on so I ended up going back on Hwy 101 a few miles until I could turn around, all the while Paul was waiting for me for lunch. He had told me which exit to take but I forgot. Early alzhemiers? I hope not. Then I had the trailer all levaled and unhooked from the truck and the trailer slid of the riser I had used to leval it and I had to reattach the truck to the trailer to releval it. It is hard to do when I am by myself because I have to keep getting in and out of the truck to check everything. Then I went to buy gas and since I live in Oregon I had never had to unlock the gas cap and put my own gas in this vechicle and I had a real hard time getting the gas cap off. Then I had to ask some other customer how to start the gas going into the tank. I must admit I have been wondering if I am nuts to be here doing this instead of home in my comfortable house. Then I remember how lonely it would be for 6 months with Paul gone. I guess I just need my little melt down and then I will go on tomorrow When Paul got to camp and asked what was for dinner I guess he was not to excited so he suggusted we go for pizza. It was definately the right night for it and I was relieved not to cook and clean up tonight. Well, that is probably more than you want to hear but that was my day in a nut shell.

Ah, so sorry you had a bad day. But I'll bet you'll get all those little things figured out and things will be better going forward.
