5/3 condo
Good Morning, L&LL,
When I got back from climbing Hopkins Mountain (in the High Peaks) yesterday I was pretty tired, so never did get to opening a condo for Rusty. He and Edward had a good day together, and it didn't rain! This morning Rusty is starting out green--not his usual pattern. His shot last night may have been too much (it is really hard to measure a skinny 1/4 unit on the Monoject syringe, and the amount of insulin is further complicated by the "cone", in which some of the insulin "hides"). We'll see what happens today.
We had 10 people on our climb, but lost one about a mile into the climb. She had violated a cardinal rule of hiking with a group and had turned around and left the group without telling anyone. She was new, so probably didn't know that people would worry about her. The leader had to go back to look for her and I volunteered to go back with her. We assumed she had simply gone home, but it was not an easy trail to follow at this time of year (very little vegetation on the trail) and we feared that she might have veered off into the brush and not been able to find the trail again, or fallen while crossing the streams. Luckily (for her), she simply went home (her car was gone from the parking area). But the leader and I logged 3 extra miles on a challenging climb. We finally made it to the summit and were rewarded by fabulous views of the surrounding peaks.
It's chilly and raining today and is expected to be like this all weekend.
Wishing all a good day,
