My entire life I have enjoyed eating eggs. Scrambled, omelettes, Eggs Benedict, over-easy (or is that easy-over?), hard and soft-boiled. It’s all yummy! But up until this past year, a thought has always been with me: “How come I’ve never seen any evidence of a baby chicken in any of these eggs?” It’s been in the back of my mind every time that I cracked open an egg that just this once, I’d see a partially-formed chicken embryo or something. It was only when I visited a farm for a…

I love reading. A good book is a friendly retreat or a safe, comfortable place you can go back to at a moment’s notice. I’ve got a lot of books on my reading list, several of them at my bedside. This is kind of the problem I’m having at the moment. The only time I have to read (and it’s the most enjoyable time for me) is when I crawl into bed.

For the past week my skin has been really itchy, and there are small red dots appearing on my thighs and arms.

Here you can see the water line is almost to the kayak rental hut. It should be way down to the left. Brushy Creek Lake Park’s parking lot was actually closed, but you could still walk to it from Champions Park.
We had a mini-hike this morning to test out the packs and get our legs used to the weight. We walked on the Brushy Creek trail and saw the overflowing lake. So much rain the past couple weeks has really filled it up.
For my birthday, I got an REI Flash 65 pack. It’s pretty good, and a great value. I used a 15% coupon, so it was very affordable at around $125. Total weight at this point is a light 24lbs., but we are going to divvy up the weight some more before we go.
Our second day camping was wet and drizzly, but we still had fun fishing!
