No sign of last night's rain; I'm up around 7h, have breakfast, then pack up leisurely for today's ride to Mid Hills campground

I didn't sleep well last night due to the howling winds. The sun is hot this morning, but the cool wind up here at 3700 feet keeps me refreshed while packing up. Still, I feel tired by the time I'm ready to leave!

Hmmmm... I must not be 100% recovered from the light heat exhaustion from two days ago.

I'm really enjoying the Starbucks instant Via coffee I brought, which I make in cool water. I'm not in the mood for anything hot this morning. It does taste a bit like instant coffee, but it still has some decent coffee flavour.
