Wonderful trip.  Nice opportunities to display the joy of naked to other people too.  Carpe Diem!

I empathize with your difficulty in getting out and away from the madding crowd.

Excellent report and photos.

The NEXT DAY....

Here’s a quick field test for hyponatremia: Most people don’t ordinarily enjoy eating a heaping teaspoon of pure table salt, but salt-deficient folks find it delicious, and it can bring them back to normal (able to walk upright again without cramps, and to absorb the water they drink) in as little as ten minutes. Our bodies seem to know what they need. If salt doesn’t taste particularly good, the problem may be something else.

I have learned the same. Once on a afternoon of rock climbing and bouldering, we sat on some rocks to hydrate and snack. I ate the singularly most delicious orange I have ever had. Between the water (I always carry packs of EmergenC to add to the water) and the natural sugars in the fruit, my taste buds exploded when I ate the 1st orange section.  It was amazing!

Your body craves what it needs and will reward you with exceptional responses when you pay attention to it's signals. Once you have had enough, what you need will no longer taste as good.

More amazing pictures, Jbee.

Even the mountains around here don't look like that. We just don't get enough rain and snow and we have colder winters than Tuscon. Different plants. It's hard to keep in mind that you are above 9000 ft. Here that will put you in an high alpine zone.

Thanks for letting us tag along.
