"I now know my limit, I can go 8 days without a shower!" I wrote in my journal that I was feeling yucky and sick of 'sponge baths' using my water bottle and my wash cloth. I stood in line to have a shower since everyone is doing their laundry and having showers today. "It was so nice to wash my hair, my skin actually felt different - cleaner!" I was enjoying the view from my tent when I heard a very loud, and very near, call of a monkey. I darted out of the tent to look and saw the monkey very close, he was so big. He walked across the branch bridging the stream and then crawled down the tree and walked along the ground. "Jen and I decided to go monkey hunting again. We found the log bridge across to the other side and found the monkeys. We looked at them in the trees. We treked around the trees to get a better look and suddenly my ankle was caught on something. I pulled and it got tighter. You know you watch too many fairytales when your first thought is that a tree reached out with a vine to pull me in! It turns out it was a metal snare, I got caught in a snare!! Jen helped me out of it and giggled over my fairytale freak out." 10 years ago today I learned firsthand that it's important to be careful when walking through a forest!
