Memory of cowboy camping

Yes, this was the beginning of a treatment of preparing to section hike or thru hike the Pacific Crest Trail.  I just had to get this on "paper" before I forgot. 

Almost two years after my March 27, 2015 start, I have trouble remembering if I slept on my side in the deserts when cowboy camping on the Pacific Crest Trail.  I'd find a campsite, make a meal, lay out my quilt and pad on top of my Tyvek groundsheet, clean myself and change into my sleep clothes. I remember getting into my quilt with the quilt edges under my back and waking up in about the same position. I don't remember Jerry rigging a pillow.   Maybe I was too tired to roll to my side. I don't remember waking up with a sore shoulder or neck from side sleeping.  That's a good walk.
