Journey Day 497 | CDT Day 160

11/21/87

Nasty hangover, woodpecker cause early rising. See to tasks. Feeling bad, organize, walk to post office, take care of business. Back, do laundry, watch football after burgers at cafe. Meet Lester's daughter, grandson Thomas returns with us. We munch cookies from BG friend Debbie, watch TV, Nebraska-Oklahoma football game. Write letters, organize, wash, then hang to dry with sleeping bag, tent.

Cold forebodings of morning give way to another hot day. Lester keeps house baking, so I hike upstairs, open windows and cool off. Thomas joins me. Try to organize food from Debbie, AT friend Clark, munch a bit. After football, omelets, I go for bread. Back, munch more, Sheridan, Mike back. I update my journal, read Washington Post, prepare mentally to head out again. Omelets with ice cream, more TV, then crash.
