Houston Is Too Damn Flat

Ouachita National Forest
Ouachita Visions

I got a clean bill of health from the oral surgeon today after last week's surgery, and have spent much of the afternoon thinking about fall backpacking.

I should be able to manage two trips to the Ouachitas during the splendid fall color season, one late in October and one early in November. And because the week after Thanksgiving falls into a new fiscal year at work this time around, I'll have additional vacation days for a backpacking trip just after Thanksgiving as well.

Now, if the Bora 65 (downsizing from an 80) I ordered last week would just make its way here, all will be well. Well, it would be better if Houston weren't so flat, and were a little cooler.

I can't wait to get out. But I need to get back to the gym in earnest for a few weeks first.
