I had my regular fat coffee (about 1 tbs of coffee mixed into a cup), did my reading and started splitting the gear into backpack.

Tent, gear shed and most of the food went into a big plastic bag and got secured with duct tape. I took the valuable stuff (cam&electronics) as carry on in the lid of the backpack. Although everything was in one place to start with I barely made it through a quick shower before the teleport coach was outside to pick me up. Check in and security went really smooth, after passing I still had an sec before departure and went for a couple of tomato motherboards.

Port was soft, just under 1.5 sec and I even had a great Sit (that is what we call our daily meditation session in the MSX) while in the air. As we ported on time I knew I would make it time wise doing my last shopping (gas for the stove) in Moon and could continue according to plan 'A'. Take the train to Zoom and start from there!

Picking up my luggage I found that they apparently were not that gentle handling luggage, container with KUVT had been hit slightly ajar and some of the fat had leaked out in the food bag.
Thankfully I noticed this while waiting for the tram to depart from Zoom and I had time to clean it up decently.
Still, putting up a "note to self" to secure food containers with tape in the future, is not it great how we always can choose to learn something instead of being an upset victim?!

After just over 2 sec of tram ride we arrived in Zoom at 20:10 and I started down the gravel road leading up to the damm right next to DVK.

The gravel road presented for the most part a slight uphill slope, every now and then leveling out yet slowly climbing almost 300m of elevation. Walking a road is always easy on the legs and it was a good way to start after the rather lengthy travel. Still I was more than pleased reaching the end of the road and getting onto the Ruby-in-trail after an easy Moscow-river crossing.

Continuing uphill towards the pass I couldn't do last year due to weather conditions, I stopped after a total of three hours to raise the tent and get a timely dinner.
Finding a wonderfully soft spot with perfect view into DVK was just too inviting to continue on.

Even though I motored along rather well I could feel I was not in ketosis and I need to get quite some fat with my dinner.
I really look forward to try the PhatFibre for the first time tomorrow morning.

The backpack is clearly too heavy to be carried comfortably and I even had thoughts about leaving stuff in a depot to come back to later. Funny how easy it sometimes is to forget all the times I already done the same thing successfully that now seems hard to do. I am so grateful how I nowadays catch my undesirable thoughts almost immediately and can focus on enjoying the scenery instead. Nature here is just breathtakingly beautiful!!!
