Well I must have done something wrong because my comments have come to a drastic dropoff, I shall try to recover control of this Blog and steer it back on course

BOOOOORING!!!
I realize that most people who read this don’t really give a crap about where I am going backpacking and other details of the hike, so I will refrain from boring the masses.

The Spirit of Mold
Last night I gathered all my backpacking gear together so I would be ready to pack it all with Dave tonight…I discovered that inside my cookset and one Nalgene (both had been sitting in the basement closet since the end of April) a large amount of mold. not white mold, not green mold but a blackish brown super mold that was strong I am convinced that it was more demon than fungus. This is the kind of mold that kills small native villages and wipes out entire species. I decided to do my best to scrub it off since I needed to use the pots and bottle for the trip. You see the mold had grown on a nice base layer of Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal that had been fermenting in the dark space of my basement closet. I boiled some water and scrubbed until I couldn’t scrub any longer. it came off, but it took a little bit of non-stick with it…Let this be a lesson to us all “Never let food sit un-attended so long that it grows i’ts own spirit!”

I will tell you of all my weekend adventured on monday, but for now all I can think about is my feet on wild earth!
