Super connected.

 

We live in a super connected world. Sitting on the throne 1500 miles away from home this morning Kadizzle viewed the inside of his home live via the internet. Kadizzle can actually move the camera and see the temp displayed at home. The Commander and Kadizzle have come to realize the importance of radio communication. Hiking we always carry small two way radios because often there is no phone service. Additionally we each carry a GPS. The old radios are not working well so we just ordered some new ones. To top off the electronic list will be the new Delorme satellite emergency system when we get it. Getting confused and lost is easier than one thinks. Even in open country where it looks easy to move about and know where you are, often you are surprised. Yesterday for example what appeared to be the easiest way back to the truck from the mountain top turned out to be more of a chore than imagined. The creek we walked down wandered around more than Kadizzle thought. It is amazing that we can stand on top of a mountain in the middle of no where and instantly send pictures to our daughters.

At the camp site all is quiet. On our loop it is just the Kadizzles and Ryan. Mary stopped by to borrow a pan last night. It was pretty cold last night so we fired up the furnace this morning. Today Kadizzle needs to rest his bones a little after yesterdays assault on the mountain, so maybe a visit with Gary to shoot the breeze. Surely The Commander will get antsy and need a mission. The sun is up and things are warming up quickly. Hopefully it was so cold last night the snakes decided to quit for the season.
