camp time

I went camping at the coast this weekend.  So nice to leave town and get a little dirty...

I finally gave in and bought a big stove and air mattress for the trip.  We were car camping so why use the backpacking stove and thermarest?  I can tell you the upgrade made life much nicer...

One other thing I learned - check the weather report before you go.  At 3am I woke up to rain on my face and had to put the rain fly up in the wet darkness.  All part of the adventure, I guess, and a good excuse to stay in the tent all the next day...
