 Mt. Vinson journal entry:
Nov. 24, 2008
Low temp. -30F
“Well,
it was an eventful night in the tent last night. The temps
were bitter cold outside and the wind was howling. The good
news is, I am well hydrated, which will help me acclimatize
better. The bad news came when I awoke during the night and
had to use my funnel and pee bottle inside the tent. All
was well, until I realized that my very full bladder made
for a very full pee bottle. The “ick” factor came into
play, as I realized I had just left a puddle on my cozy
sleeping bag liner. I pulled out the liner, climbed back in
my sleeping bag, and shivered all night long. In cases like
these, I can either choose to get upset, or I can just deal
with it and have a good laugh later. This morning, as I am
emptying my bottle of yellow slush, I am choosing to laugh
about it.”
