I'm irreversibly awake and sweating as soon the hot sun rises around 6h; by 7h, I'm outside taking a "dry shower"

This morning's luxury is that I have extra water to splurge on non-essentials like rinsing yesterday's salt, sweat and sunscreen off my face and arms. The gravelly earth has almost cooled down from yesterday; it holds heat, holds cold.

I'll be passing Kelso Depot in a couple of hours, where I will refill my water supply.
