Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - Computer Day

Slept late but woke up with aching muscles, so after a couple of Ibuprofen and a few more winks, got up and did our usual chores, had breakfast, then headed out to find someplace I could work a few hours on the computer. As I was heading past the entry gate, I had a word with the ranger about the maps, and eventually learned that he had a wi-fi right at the ranger station, said I could park next to it, gave me the code and away I went! Saved me having to look for a place by the side of the road anyway. Sat there for a good three hours getting a lot of work done (mostly updating and uploading my blog, having got behind because of all the dead cell zones we’ve been in lately), including some maps for upcoming trips, and made a few phone calls on Skype (my smart phone still didn’t work, since I was still in a dead cell area, though I was able to get online through the wi-fi), in preparation for our next few weeks of travel. Finally headed back to camp in time for ice cream, and had a quiet afternoon and evening.
