Moab 240

It's Friday morning and I'm beat but it's the beginning of the Moab 240 mile foot race and the first check point at the 30 mile mark is at the Base Camp sign. I want to see that but as I'm getting ready to hike out to the sign Kobae wants to go hiking also after five days cooped up in his house with the rain. I open the gate and we hike out to the sign where most of the runners are concerned that they are hallucinating already seeing a tortoise in the race. A few mention Kobae will probably pass them in a couple hours. As I typed this Sunday morning the survivors are still running a hundred plus miles from here.
