Sitting

The mountains surrounding Idyllwild, which incidentally are reminiscent of the granitic ramparts of the Trinity Alps or even the Sierras, were dusted with snow today. Every car in town had a layer of snow, though the day was clear and fairly warm. It was almost as if the storm yesterday had never happened.

I spent the day reading in the sun. Finished a book called "I, Lucifer" and started another called "The Shadow of the Wind." Both are good, though I am only halfway through the latter.

Not much to report, aside from the fact that my feet feel better. I am missing a good square inch of skin on the ball of each foot, but the layers underneath are starting to toughen up. Anyway, my limping is gone.

We're in for another storm tomorrow and into Saturday. I've decided to sit it out here and then hike wherever once the storm ends.
