In the first weeks of my C-scape residency, I joked about how I will look after 6 weeks of not having a shower. Well here I am, 6 showerless weeks later, and frankly I look better than when I arrived.
I am writing this from my apartment in New York City. Am I happy to be home? Ambivalent, but I am very happy to be with my dog, girlfriend and running club. I must admit the light in my apartment was alarming, it was so bright and strange feeling after not having electricity and heat is nice.
I kept track of some of my usages and here it is, rather surprisings on some things.
My 6 week Log of usage
50 gallons of water
630 hours of darkness
378 hours of light
27:46:21 hours of running
145 miles walked
1.5 cords of wood (approx)
80 pounds of coal
20 drawing complete
16 novels read

My next adventure is the Boston Marathon, from now until April 21, I will be running every day. This will be followed by a possible 13-Day Backpack – 121.6 miles on the John Muir Train in Yosemite Valley, the High Sierras, California. But if I am truly lucky I will receive an invitation to go to Tasmania. My fingers are crossed.
until then; get outdoors…..
