...I'm struggling with early-onset Alzheimers.
Sometimes I struggle with the self-checkout line and require help from the eye-rolling teenager in the khakis and the untucked polo shirt, all the while listening to the sighs and foot shuffling of the younger people behind me in line.
Sometimes I stop at a roundabout when I shouldn't. Or go when I shouldn't. Or I cut it a bit too closely and the boat trailer rides up over the curb and takes out a few magnolias.
Sometimes I get confused when someone mentions a zipper merge, and I check to see if my fly is open.
Sometimes I accidentally take pictures of myself when I'm trying to use my phone to take pictures of a good deal at a garage sale to send to my buddy Marv.
BUT...I know I'm still OK when I figure out how to reserve a permit using the Quetico online reservation system.
We're all set for June!

The reason to keep a "pre-BPA free" Nalgene in your kit.

Yep, the online permit system is an annual challenge! We're now set for August--hope your June trip is fantastic.

I am okay with this plan for 2:30 am.
What about the other four times?

20 years ago on a backpacking trip I kidded and teased my dad about his Gatorade bottle that went in the tent with him overnight.
Twenty years later I'm about to hit 50 and don't find it funny anymore...
