| I said goodbye to the kids at the airport then went home and indulged in all sorts of things not on the 17-point plan to try and stave off the letdown.

| When I traveled to Chicago I happened to wear my "support evolution education" T-shirt. I got a lot of positive comments in the airports! | ||

Slow haul up to and around Lonesome Lake with 6 kids and a bunch of weight on my back. David and Isabel's last day of school was Wednesday, and we'd managed to eke out another day and a half before they had to head to their dad's in Erie PA. Isabel brought her friends Nell, Jessie & Eva on the hike. David couldn't find any friends who could go, and at the very last minute I invited our neighbor Keegan. David was not too happy about this, but he's amazing with little kids, so it worked out fine.
Staying in an AMC hut is pretty deluxe. They provide 3 blankets and a pillow; you just have to bring sheets and a pillowcase. They cook dinner and breakfast for you. Lonesome Lake Hut is the easiest to get to, and great for families with small kids; we started going there when Isabel was just turning 3 and David was Keegan's age: 
Back in 2000 it felt like a long haul getting up to the hut, and we took frequent rest stops:

| Home from the airport. I was pleased no one ran me over. Except one guy in a van was too close to me so I called him a bad word and made lots of contorted faces at him with my tongue sticking out. I think the best time for a bike ride to or from the airport is 6 am on a Sunday. I wonder if they'd fix the roads if I wrote to Mayor Menino.

| Finishing the rogaine.
I was pretty happy with the food I brought. What works for me is variety. This time I had: Sandwich made with Adam's home-made cherry-pecan-whole-wheat bread and Canadian cheddar Adam's home-made granola bars salted roasted pecans dried cherries brown rice cakes rye-crisp freeze-dried veggies (peas, carrots, corn, tomatoes, peppers) freeze-dried tropical fruit (mango, banana, pineapple, kiwi, ...) vanilla gu salted taro/sweet-potato/beet/turnip chips with lemon and olive oil flavoring It was all very yummy. I was relieved that we weren't troubled by insects except for one FDF that bugged Adam and not me. It would have sucked to have had to regret not bringing a sticky blue hat. | ||
