Trying to cut back a bit on my time away from home, I decided to depart on the 260-mile Marble drive this morning at 3am, rather than departing yesterday. Last night's resulting foreshortened sleep probably contributed to the severe case of artist's block I fought through the morning. By around noon, though, I arrived at a design I'm feeling pretty good about. More on that tomorrow...
The spot I have this year is the best yet: A great view of the river, excellent shade and fairly remote. Removed quite a bit of marble for a half-day on a half-night's sleep. Tonight I have a room. I will miss tent camping a tiny bit...Nah.
No internet onsite until tomorrow. I drove down to Carbondale for dinner and a connection.
