word 'Upal' takes on new meaning for me. the court is exactly 43 degrees Celsius, and nowhere for help. zero shadow. the only thing that helps is prone non-stop stream.
[here came parogodzinna break in writing; Upal blown my brain].
a chair. 20.30 and finally Refrigerated, ie 34 st C.
last night in comparison with the previous hot, and in comparison with today's cool. We got up at 6 am, breakfast, packing, last chat with neighbors (two gentlemen adventurers, old stager) and our rendzerem (from whom we received the order to go to rendzera mat at the next camp, the dealer allegedly ice lolly.?).
set off I do not know about that exactly, but before the worst heat. The first half of the trail from Indian Garden to bright angel very nice. already the second half less friendly to celebrate the sun and the already acute wyeksponowanego trail (especially devil's corkscrew, which really is the devil), and the very end of a nightmare. kopny sand, the road uphill, with the leg shear heat, thanks to whom Dorothy said, with perhaps the way umarlysmy and trafilysmy to hell. after many steknieciach and przeklnieciach but we managed to cross the river and reach the place.
bright angel campground pleasant, completely without a trace, but it is with a little stream (Bright angel creek).
[here the explanation - very limited space for camping in August with paromiesiecznym reserved in advance for applying for a pass. if the authorities will accept the planned route canyon and August will receive a pass, notice also automatically receives campsite, or his mini-cannon.]
przelezalysmy in the water a few hours (only salvation), then the godz.16 przemiescilysmy soaked their rumps on the phantom ranch, where, LUXURY, you can buy snacks, iced tea, lemonade, or eat a reservation a few weeks before lunch (hopefully not a few weeks before cooked). We visited the lemonade, however, in accordance with the order, rendzera Mata, long-haired handsome, an absolute lover canyon (working week to week, knows this place inside out, and for this very interesting and amusing talks, which przekonalysmy on August 16 on a river pogadance colorado, and 19 at bats for pogadance, polaczanej to their cause by means of ultrasound). already during the transmission of encrypted information from the previous rendzera, who clearly loved us, we knew that it's one big joke and that we can expect at most figs with poppy seeds. Mat did the big eyes (I szeeeerooooki smile), what might have been expected, but already minute later, after a few of our captivating smiles and eyelashes zatrzepotaniu we had in the hands of cherry iced water, which at the bottom of the canyon at the 43 st is better than most expensive restaurants.
ok.godz.17 occurred in my first crisis sunny. cracking blood vessels in the nose, stomach refuses to obey. Fortunately, a temporary crisis, quickly brought under control (which can not be said of the heat).
present day, how we learned from the mat, he was (and still is) the hottest day this year. as the word gives me happiness. although the temperature here is phenomenal, however, beautifully and indescribable.
tomorrow we leave at 4 am. 15km ahead of us climbing the gore (with ok.8-hour break during the wait out of the highest heat). food, water and bags of clothes ready for soaking (Soak NEED clothes at every opportunity, so as to cool and withstand heat, the earth who can go up to +55 / C 60st confused but not soaking up, which can probably yes and occur, but ...).
Dr. crickets again, billions of flies in the air (no thanks to the presence of mosquitoes just bats, which feed on them in August) and I will go brush my teeth, wet the shirt (not far from a competition for the miss, but about the night of detention compress on my forehead ), and sleep. with a view of the stars, the noise of the stream ...
world of travel, and especially in such places is completely different. unreal, because I'm obviously cut off from the phone, mejli, but on the other hand more realistic. does not have the money and rush. nature of the rules man, and not vice versa, other lives, other laws. peace.
ps. slut feast lasts, did not shower for three days.
