...and
my phone can't locate
his phone maybe because his isn't turned on, maybe because his battery's dead. I know I told him I wouldn't call the rangers if I heard from him every 5 days, but day 4.5 gets a little tense (and of course, now there ARE no rangers in National Parks.) And if one more person I tell that my husband is hiking the AT, alone, asks me if I ever heard what happened to Inchworm (the AT hiker lost-and-never-found in Maine last summer), I really will do something loud.
......but, he phoned this morning. He was holed up in some low budget hotel, sounding horrible, saying he had two consecutive "zero days" because he felt like he had the flu (respiratory symptoms, fatigue.) He had diligently received his flu shot before he left but there are SO MANY ways to be miserable from regular ol' rhinoviruses.
At least my cell phone knows enough to bling me when he DOES turn on his phone.
