Sundown at Pinto Valley means it's time for my evening meal; I'm really hungry
My tent bangs around in the evening's strong winds. Supper is Backpacker's Pantry Chicken Cashew Curry (why do I keep buying this?) which is better than I remember, probably because I didn't eat enough today.
I normally hang my flashlight lantern from the ceiling of my tent as a reading light, but the swaying of the tent in the wind is causing the light to spin around; I almost feel seasick after a while!
I step outside after dark for a short walk and notice a mouse. He's moving really slowly; perhaps he's cold!
Around 1h15, I finally go to bed, tired of thinking, reading and writing in my journal. To my surprise, I fall asleep easily, despite the noise of the wind.
