I decided to get home asap – traveling over holiday week/weekend seems a bit hard. There are not a lot of transportation options in Del Norte but my excellent hosts drove me to the Alamosa airport, and I was able to get flights (2) to Seattle but this evening. I’m confident I’ll arrive today, not so sure about my luggage (boxed bike).
I’ve slimmed down my kit somewhat along the trip, and even more while packing up. But one thing I picked up is this Patagonia truckers hat

The hat was on the fence of shoes at the Lava Flow Hostel. Most of the hostles cater to hikers, and its a tradition to tie your work out shoes to (something) when you’re done.
I don’t know how you wear out a hat, but I needed one and it worked so… Viola!
Also, my family knows I’m always looking for hats and this is just about perfect.
