3 nights in Tehachapi

Tonight will be our 3rd night in town. Two rest days in a row! This is craziness. I'm still a bit sick and we decided it was most prudent to get completely rested before heading into the Sierras. I do feel a bit pathetic for holding us up. I just keep thinking about my dad's mantra: "your health comes first". So here we are in the motel resting. For the first time yet, we are officially behind schedule, by one day. No biggie I guess. We just have to get to Independence, CA (or on the road south of it) by June 19th, 2:30pm (and 17 seconds). That's the latest that we can catch a bus or ride to the airport in time to catch our flight to the Mammal Meetings.

Besides, I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow. I may have said that for the last 3 days, but this time, I mean it.
