My Busy Life

Today has actually been busy. I have been working on several orders and have has sucess in finding people to fill them with. Transportation has been today's headache though. I can find people, but I can't get them to the fires due to the smoke. The planes just don't do well when the pilots can't see. It's funny that the reason we can't fight the fires is that there is too much smoke, seems a little ironic or something. Now things have calmed a little, and I am able to put some thoughts down. I watched a movie last night to pass time. It was the new triple X movie with Ice Cube. It was better than I thought it would be, better than the origional. Today I rented "Hotel Raxanda" and "Guess Who." I'll watch one tonight, this is my adventurouse life. I don't have my Jeep, so I can't get into too much trouble. When I get home I will be ready to run wild. I am looking forward to a camping trip that I have planned with a friend from work. I planned on hiking up to a spot that I camped at last year with my cousin. This year I am planning on a three day trip, not two day like last year. We are hiking to Mint Hut up the Mint Glacier Trail. It's an amazing 8 mile one way hike. It was a little much for a two day trip though, three will be much better. The trail goes up a valley for seven miles, and then when the end of the valley is reached, the trail turns up one of the mountains for the last mile. It's a good climb to get up to the Mint Hut, and it's worth it. The view is amazing, and it's a perfect spot to camp. I'll post pictures after the trip.

Here is my dog and me on Mint Trail last year.
