lauralh | On Vox: camping season

Plans for the future include Squire Creek and possibly something way out in the desert, definitely at least one beach trip. And then there's backpacking, which is going to require something of an outlay but then you know, stuff that lasts forever.

This week I have purchased or ordered zip-off pants, SPF shirt, a Vapor Trail pack, and a Black Diamond lightweight tent. Of course the backpacking is not going to actually happen for a while, seeing as how Reg and I are in horrible shape. We're going to try to start taking long walks with light packs around town. Also, I need shoes.

Many people have expressed interest in coming. Until our new tent arrives we only have one (the usual one's zipper is not functional), so keep this in mind. But we have shelters and all kinds of other things to make camping as pleasant as possible for newbies. We usually know by Wednesday if/where we're going, so feel free to ask. We can fit at most one extra person in our car.
