So a friend came by at about 2:30 in the afternoon and said, "Hey, let's go camping."

I said, "Sure. When?"

"Right now!"

"Oh. Okay! Why not?"

We actually got ready and left closer to 4:00. It is cooler out by then. We grabbed miminal gear, the dogs, and drove 10 minutes out of town, stopping for basic provisions, then pitched tents, built a small fire, and kicked back enjoying a spectacular view, fresh breeze (strong breeze, hence very small fire) and very little human-made noise. It was wonderful and relaxing.


The wind was strong enough, and/or the tents were pitched in a not-sheltered-enough location that I woke up several times from the tent smacking me in the head. But other than that, it was tranquil and fabulous.
