Days 30 & 31 - Friday and Saturday 7/29/2005-7/30/2005 -  A Vacation from the Vacation...

Friday - Despite my best efforts and hopes, my back actually was stiffer by Friday morning.  Not only was climbing Lassen out, but Boundry Peak in Nevada (scheduled just a couple of days from now) looks like it's out too.  Nothing to do but lie on the bed, catch up on TV, and try to sit in the chair long enough to update the web pages.  After some time (and lots of Motrin), I got into the swimming pool for a while.  The warm...er HOT...sun  did feel good on my back and it was nice to get out of the room for a while.  Hopefully tomorrow morning will be better.

Saturday - Slightly better but not good.  The morning is the worst, and this morning I do not feel like sitting in the drivers's seat for the day.  More TV, more Motrin, more boredom.  The upside is that the Hotel and the folks here have been GREAT.  Since they have only been open about a week, we may hold the record for the longest stay.  Everyone asks how we are doing and if there is anything they can do for us.

Sunday morning, barring a complete collapse of my back, we will be moving south.   Hopefully the car and my back are both well on the mend!!!!
