Day Four — View from my hammock, February 2, 2024

View from my hammock, February 2, 2024 — I grabbed two liters of water at Bliss Spring, and that had to last the eight-mile hike out, including the last evening and the final day. The spring on Whites Creek I had hoped to get water from was dry. Irish Wilderness, Missouri. February 2024. Copyright © 2024 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

I survived the night 🙂 (at my age I sometimes wonder!), but my heart was still in AFIB1. I had enough water for breakfast (12oz), a cup of something hot (10oz), and about 4oz for the trail.

I decided to take a slow morning and another pill. Hopefully my AFIB would clear up before I started hiking again. It’s not a lot of fun hiking with AFIB. I know, I’ve done it before.
