Ch 224 Deliver us from Evil
walking on the Devil's Path
Just couldn't resist: On Monday I ordered a new camera. On Thursday morning I happened to check my confirmation from BIGDIG, and the tracking link said my package had just been loaded on a FedEx truck at the Altamont facility where I used to load the same trucks with those same packages. Then I see FedEx arriving and I recognized the driver (route #15) from my old days as a package handler. Kathy thought it was goofy taking a picture of him - I don't see why? Observe the proper firm grasp technique we learned while in package handling class.
My walk on: The Devil's Path
I dropped down through this Hell Hole on the Devil's Path the only way to proceed on this trail along the sheer rock drop off with the dead tree blockage. This segment was a six mile four hour hike- more segments to complete later.
