Back to the park after a brief hiatus from my residency. I'm very happy to report that the weather has shaped up nicely in my absence. 70s today, brilliant sun: a perfect day to have the windows and doors open wide. Did some unpacking from NY and repacking in anticipation of heading home at the end of next week. Painted a little, read a little, organized my thoughts and plans for the south unit visits I have planned for this next week. A good day. Ended with a night hike along the Door trail by the glorious light of the moon, one day past full.

| Crazy story: Mike flew home from NYC today, had internet on the plane, messaged me to say he was flying over badlands and I might see his plane if I look to the NW. So I did, and yes, there he was! Small streak of white above the tallest butte. |
