As of last Saturday, it had been something over five years since the last time I came down with a communicable illness. That streak ended Sunday, and I’ve felt crappy all this week. Three home covid tests have shown negative, no fever, so I guess it’s just a cold, but a fairly bad one. Meanwhile we’ve had snow and the temperature hasn’t gone north of -5°C (23°F).

So not much walking.

I’m on a hiking trail in the Sierra Nevada again. In Kings Canyon National Park, west of Death Valley.

Hoping I’m on the mend now.

A map showing my progress is here, a spreadsheet with progress detail is here, and a Google Earth KMZ file is in this Google Drive folder. Present coordinates: 36.757°N, 118.449°W.
