Hour by Hour Continued....

Please start with post titled "Hour by Hour" before continuing.



Yoga on the platform (to the left of that boulder in the foreground) this morning, then this shot taken around 3 o'clock. Not a cloud in sight till now.



Damn... Going to be a long night in the tent. 3:15 p.m.



Approximately 3:20 p.m. Winds are about 40 MPH, mostly in long gusts. Rain arrives 15 minutes later--mostly sideways and stings my skin. While running to the refuge to store the food inside, I was blown helplessly about each time a fresh gust hit the broadside of the pack. Will's 6 year old LL Bean tent stood up to the challenge, keeping us dry. Though after the regular wind abuse and powerful UV of Patagonia he will probably have to end this tent's career. In the meantime, what a tent!
