the pics are old ones from when we stopped in the enchanted tower in new mexico. there are many new red rock photos but i forgot to upload them onto the laptop before going to the whole foods for wifi. oops.
as the title indicates- i hurt everywhere. apparently i cannot handle daily climbing and hiking with heavy packs. my back muscles hurt, my arms hurt, my neck hurts, my feet cringe at the sight of climbing shoes, my finger tips are void of their original prints, my skin has dried out and cracked everywhere, my eyes burn from the sand, and i'm quite sure that the cracking noises coming from my joints are not appropriate for anyone aged twenty-five. it was an incredibly difficult decision but... we're taking a break! and what is there to do in vegas when not climbing? penny slots! we stopped at the local climbing gym for showers and the plan is to hit the strip. but maybe not til tomorrow. i'm not sure i can even pull the levers today. i'm pretty sure i'm not even writing well today, but free wifi is hard to come by so i've just got to type when the opportunity presents itself. current plan is rest, climb a bit more here, head to zion natl park then to indian creek (ut). if anyone knows of cheap camping near zion please share.
