I had a teacher once who used to say the same thing every time I was late for class. "Good of you to join us Mr. Bowman." I would always respond with "Better late than never." And the wit would just keep going. He would just as cordially say, "Yes, but better never late."
That being said, I'm off to a late trip start. The first reason being that UPS was supposed to deliver a package on Monday but didn't actually get it to me until Tuesday. Thanks for the hiccup Oregon! On top of that, the roommate that replaced me has put off getting me my security deposit for too long. Would you leave town if someone was holding $800 of your money? I'm glad we're on the same page.
Since I'm behind schedule, I may have to skip Mt. Whitney. Not a good start to my adventure!! The new plan is to head straight to Sequoia National Park. I will be meeting Ryan and Ashley there on Saturday for an overnight out to Jenny Lake. It's about a 5 hour drive, which will put me in the park around 3pm. Wilderness office, here I come! In order to still have an opportunity at Whitney, I'll call the Wilderness office on Monday and see if there are any cancellations (It's an 8 hour detour to just show up). Plan B will be to spend the next week in Yosemite in the High Sierras. Either way, I'm going to have fun!
