L2H day 9: road walk
10/21/19 I’m too exhausted to be itchy and we sleep until the glorious hour of 6:30, and for these reasons I wake up feeling refreshed. We drive to the gas station in Lone Pine for coffee and trail gummies and then we’re off, walkin up the road. The pavement turns easily beneath me. Ahead is … Continue reading L2H day 9: road walk
L2H day 8: Tumanguya
10/20/19 It’s hot in my van and my hives are really bad- my whole body feels like it’s burning. It’s too hot in my van? How is that possible, on this cold night in the foothills of the sierras. I’ve grown used to swinging in the wind all night, even these metal walls create too … Continue reading L2H day 8: Tumanguya
L2H day 7: six thousand feet down to Carls Jr
10/19/19 If mice run over me in the night, I do not feel it. Another perfect eight hours of sleep, squirreled away against the ravages of waking life. My little pocket thermometer says 39 degrees so it is warmer in this cabin than outside. We did good. The sun rises over the huge wooden tram … Continue reading L2H day 7: six thousand feet down to Carls Jr
L2H day 6: stayin’ active, that’s the thing
10/18/19 I sleep for eight pure hours, curled in a ball against the cold under the bright moon, and when I wake I feel like I’ve won the lottery. It’s dark and I can just make out the forms of the others, sitting up in their sleeping bags, rustling around. We’re quiet. It’s quiet. The … Continue reading L2H day 6: stayin’ active, that’s the thing
L2H day 5: the puzzle of Darwin canyon
10/17/19 The beady dark eyes of a small mouse shine in the moonlight. The mouse is crouched beneath a creosote bush. It darts out across the open space of a campsite. Its moonshadow follows close behind. Out from behind the brick bathroom building comes another mouse. There’s a single dorito, discarded beneath a picnic table. … Continue reading L2H day 5: the puzzle of Darwin canyon

L2H day 4: sparrows vs. dove
10/16/19 I'm awake at 6 a.m. Fuck. This cot is still bliss, though. Resting is bliss, even if I can't sleep. What does it even mean to sleep? What does it even mean to have a body? I lay still for another hour, watching the light lose its softness and then I sit up, into … Continue reading L2H day 4: sparrows vs. dove
L2H day 3: the land of zero texture
10/15/19 I am just warm enough. My pad partly deflates and I toss and turn, making unfortunate potato chip noises. When the alarm goes off I play Papa Roach on my phone, making my friends laugh. Gets em every time. We find the explosion of trees in the wash that signals water, somewhere, somewhere there … Continue reading L2H day 3: the land of zero texture
