6/15/09



unedited seventh entry from the pocket-sized Moleskin I carried 34+ miles into the wilderness:

"It's my FS anniversary today. Tonight I watched the mules be let out onto the runway. What a sight! :) Sheer joy at such vast freedom. Hiking out tomorrow @ 6:30 am."

Editor's Note: What a way to spend an anniversary evening! Hearing nothing but wind and mules kicking up their heels, quite literally, as they gallop full-speed onto the runway at Moose Creek, having waited expectantly that evening for their night out of the corral.
