Today was going to be a shorter walk. We didn't get started until late and because I am working tonight, I needed to have time for a nap before work.
We decided to walk the 2.5+ miles to Starbuck's and then turn around and go home.
When we started out my first impression was it was really, really hot. I was so thankful when a little cloud cover have us a break from the sun.
We shared a cup of coffee and then left the air conditioning for the hot asphalt.
Our "hot spot" lived up to its name today. The cloud cover was there for a bit, but there was also lots of sun. I always bring plenty of water so that helps. I also bring a mineral replacement drink (thanks to the nice folks at White Blaze for the recipe) which is a nice treat along the way. I never thought I would look forward to a drink made with potassium, salt and sugar, but I do.
When we got home, I had the nicest surprise. My new hydration back came today. I haven't had a chance to wear it yet, but this pack is so well made -- it has so many features which are just plain thoughtful. I'll share more about it after I've had a chance to put it to the test. But if this is the way Kelty makes everything, I am definitely looking at them for my backpack!
