We are exactly one week away from departure. There are still a lot of things we need to do, but there are a lot of things we have gotten done. I had my last physical therapy yesterday and the knee feels great. Shouldn't have any problems dominating the trails and/or bears. Emily has furious tracked every possible destination in the parks with thumbs up and thumbs down. We have absconded all of our gear from the Fouseks. Computer technology is updated and primed for travel.
We still need to figure out how the hell we are going to fit all of this stuff in the civic. We remain on the lookout for a cheap hotel in or around Bishop, but I'm confident the price will drop soon.
One week. So far yet so close.

Equipment Update
I am currently typing this on my new Acer Aspire One Netbook. This will prove an invaluable tool for our trip, as it will allow us to keep our blog updated, book hotels on the run and look up maps, restaurants and tourist trap highway attractions (eg., The Thing).
Em has also gotten NEW new hiking boots and they seem to be working well. We went on a good walk on Saturday through Mission Bay Park. It was just too hot to walk in Mission trails.
T-Minus 3 Weeks 1 Day.

some serious hills
on this rare day that we both have off from work, we decided to hike cuyamaca peak. or try to at least. started out a little after 10 going up this fire road that looked on the map like it would be a more direct route. well, it was. because it kinda went straight up the freaking mountain. the steepness of the climb kinda took it out of us, so we got pretty far but not all the way up. the picture is at where we decided to turn around, clearly we're a little exhausted.
but it's good practice, a beautiful setting, and a crapload of calories burned. and a great way to spend a day off.
the cedar fire really did a number on that area. but less than two years after, it's springing back to life. it's pretty amazing. and the road was covered with caterpillars. awesome.
