I managed to sleep in a bit this beautiful Labour Day morning. The enclosing hills here prevent the sun from getting down into the canyon too early and baking the tent.

But the sun is shining on the tent now. It was almost, but not quite, cool overnight.

I carry out my usual camping breakfast routine of making instant miso soup, coffee, eating handfuls of dry granola, then dried apricots and tamari almonds.
