early to rise
Crap.
The raft got in 12 hours early.
Nothing is wrong, except I’m not there. So I’m on my way north with a trailer, and will get in around 2 am or so.
Gary’s heading up with me, so he’ll keep me awake all night long. His snoring will probably be enough

Well, Gary and I got up there about 3:30 on Friday morning. Woke up at 5, went for a walk to find everyone at 5:20. They’re not at the launching ramp.
Turns out, they had to go back 1/2 mile to a campsite.
In walking around, I almost walked right on top of a 4 foot long Mohave Green Rattlesnake. He was shocked, I was shocked. He drew back, threatening to strike. I jumped way back up hill, trying to get out of his way. He the moved on, and so did I. But… it shocked me for a bit.
Got everything loaded up, got on the way back. My truck is having problems with overheating on the gauge, however, water spilled on the radiator didn’t sizzle. I think it’s a bad gauge or sending unit. I hope.
Also blew another tire on a trailer.
We got back in around 12:30 this morning.
I think I’m going to leave this evening for Mammoth, and try to get out of the heat.
