The Hardest Part Is Done...

I got my permit to run!

And this will be fun, in the sun with a bun...ahh out of un's...

Worked ten hours yesterday in Squamish, drove an hour to the ferry, boarded a 1.5hr ferry ride to Vancouver Island, drove the three hours to the trail head and managed four hours of sleep. Got up early, brought a chair and a book with me and camped out in front of the Warden's Office until they opened at 9am. I was leaving nothing to chance!

Permit in hand and my support crew (Carlos Castillo) en route...the countdown is on...only 16hr's till my 4am start.

Bamfield is a nice, quite ocean front town. I'll enjoy the day relaxing and trying not to stress out about what I am attempting to accomplish tomorrow.

Wish me luck,
GR
