The only word to really describe today is wow. It seems like the beginning of the day was at least a week ago. So much happened today. It started out waking up earlier than normal, at 4:45, doing the normal morning routine of packing up the tent, throwing stuff into my bags, getting dressed, loading my bags, eating breakfast, getting the cue sheets for the day, and then heading out.
