Encounter and conversation with man on loop back from remaining North Country Independant - NWO hike noted. Details are confidential and available on closed channels only.
Today, I took a day off and did some shopping. I purchased a metal file to grind down the sharp ends on the crampers back wall hinge screws. They're starting to tear the memory foam mattress's lineing up when the folded walls get shoved under it coming from camper to transport mode.
I also went to the office supply store and had the map update printed for the Defiance Section - Buckeye Trail. Their store issued a new map and I have yet to procure it. But my old map and the updates will be able to get me through this project.
I went to bed really late this morning and I got heated out of my tent by the afternoon. The temperature diffrential was about 30°F during that time. So, I got in my car, turned it on and slept for a couple hours with the air conditioning on.
Yesterday, I completed the North Country Trail in Ohio on its independant arms at Oak Openings Metropark in Lucas County. I hiked 18 miles and probably covered 68 miles total.

Smartphone Battery C is going critical. On the other hand, I think it might be the phone's usb port that might have too much play it it. Both are known to have their problems. Today, Battery C failed and interupted the upload of a 22 minute video to the Buckeye Trail Association this evening.
There's a first aid kit that is down by my car battery and spare tire. But once The Cramper is set up, it's not very accessable due to everything's weight. So, I cooked this evening and got to use the washing tub and grey water for the first time. And I scratched my left index knuckle while drying my pocket knife (has a can opener). So, I went searching for my First Aid kit in my black bag (18L Camelbak backpack, 1.5L water bladder, short range bag). I'm not sure it even has the consolidated mini first aid kit that its supposed to. Oh well, I licked my cut. But those kits need to be found.
It's Christmas in July here at Punderson this weekend, so there's a few more campers here. There's been some curiousity about The Cramper. I've also told others that unless I go into buildings, I'm refusing to wear a shirt this weekend.
I visited Crystal Thompson at her home in Newbury today. I've known her for 14 years.
One of the hinges on my new cooler did not have its lid completely screwed in. I noticed that it was taking on water and molding back at Burr Oak. The best way to completely clean it out is with bleach on the 1st when I can purchase replacment groceries. Until then, I'm trying to unload the cooler every meal that I eat. The first is 5 days and a wake up from now and I don't think I'll eat it all. Needless to say that food isn't going to be a problem in the meantime.
Everything is holding up well here at Basecamp Delta.

My right elbow is still experiencing "tennis elbow" like symptoms.
