It's been an extended break!
* Administration: I think I've finally closed out the outstanding paperwork due this summer, including some required hard copy documents.
* Word Cup 2015: Success for the U.S.! What a tournament for Carli Lloyd! The U.S. was more consistent and had greater improvement in its play than all the other teams. (I think the best match, though, was the quarterfinal between Germany and France -- end to end action and intensity.)
* Inclement weather: there have been some heavy rain storms in the Lake Tahoe area over the past week, and flash flood watches the past two days; hence, I'm still off-trail. I am heading back tomorrow. The area can certainly use the rain, as the lake level is quite low, given the drought.
* Calories: I was down 20 pounds when I left the trail; I'm presently down 13.
* The future: I've looked ahead at the balance of the trail, and have planned out resupply points, and possible exit points depending on different possibilities for what I'll be doing in autumn (I've been thinking a lot about this). For going forward, I'm not expecting to be taking many zero days on the trail, weather and forest fires permitting.
