More waiting. My mind is trying to trick me into believing the weather is improving, but I don’t think it is. Besides the bad weather, the temperature has dropped. Things are freezing instantly, and my toes are less than happy with this situation. We are running a bit low on food, so being hungry doesn’t help.

            Now I have complained for 2 days, so time to talk about the good stuff. Toilets. I am pretty sure I haven’t talked about them, so I shall start. Here at VBC is pretty standard, but no mixing 1 & 2. Strictly. They fly out all waste, and I guess it works better separate. The upper mountain we use WAG bags. Pretty neat little guys, but, again no mixing, plus we have to carry it all out. Along the route are marked pee holes, so if you want to pee on the go, it’s in your bottle, the dump it at the next hole. It definitely pays off though, the mountain is so clean. No garbage anywhere, & everyone tries to keep in that way.
