when i am out hiking for a longer period of time my reality melts down to 3 trains of thought:
what will i eat today? includes frequent changes in the planned menu, about one change every 20 mins.
how will the weather be during the day? includes bad fantasies about getting rained on 20 minutes before i get to the shelter.
how far will i get and where will i sleep? includes frustrating correction of false assumptions about todays speed and the many miles hiked, after passing signs with mileage data on them.
all the rest melts into a mass of undefinable grey somewhere in the very back of my brain.
i did read somewhere in a journal that thruhikers think about sex all day long. don´t know if that is true. but that might also help to foget life at home....
