It is such an incredible feeling to be woken up by the sun and not some sinister sounding alarm clock. Achy and groggy the sun rays reluctantly entice me from my slumber. I know once I start moving I will feel much better.
I roll out of my tent and take a deep breath in. I like to stretch and do some yoga before I pack up my things. This helps me limber up and work out any tightness from the day before. My yoga/meditation routine also helps center my mind for the journey ahead. I have actually been using my sleeping pad as a yoga mat and it's been working great!
As I pack up my belongings I take care to ensure everything is in it's proper place. Each day I have been packing up my camp faster and faster. With my bag packed, I stash some fruit bars in my pockets for easy access and I'm on my way. I take one last quick look at my map and smile with the thoughts of what's to come.
