At some point, even the best planner makes a mistake, and heavens know I am a far cry from the best planner. So it is with poor planning that I find out, three days from my expected departure, that the Olympic National Forest Sol Duc/Seven Lakes/High Divide area has limits on camping permits. And, naturally, they’re out of them. Sigh.

With only one other person on the trip, whose schedule is flexible, at least I have the luxury of replanning. It’s always tough to replan, atthe last minute, when the original plans are exactly where you wanted to go, but it’s not like there’s a dirth of options!

I just must remember to check on these things earlier.

I have, however, been doing a great jobs preparing all my dehydrated foods. The trip might not happen as planned, but there will be food!
