I have had a lot of requests lately that I update my blog. So here it is.
There is currently little to no news. Fascinating I know. I meant to keep this blog for trip/book related posts but in the lull before the trip I'm tempted to post about other things just to keep things interesting. I am going to try to keep it to the trip. Here is what has been happening.
Peach and Zeb both bought brand new zero degree temp rated sleeping bags. We found them at Sam's club for under $30. Can't beat that. As far as gear is concerned we are almost ready to go. I still need to go get a new tent. I've got one picked out but am waiting for a good time financially to spring for it. I still need to pick up a one burner camp stove. I have a larger camp stove but don't want to have to worry about the amount of room it will take up. Haven't narrowed down what I want but that shouldn't set me back too much.
I've come up with a list of meals that we can prepare at camp with little to no refrigeration so we can save the room in coolers for beverages. We have to be conservative with the gear we bring with us since we will be driving out but flying back. We don't want to have too much added cost due to extra luggage that we need to bring back.
I've been checking the weather forecast regularly in hopes that warmer weather is in sight so I can get everyone out there for a weekend camping excursion. We want to be sure we get Peach to camp at least once before the big trip since she has never been before.
Oh, and I have also been plotting how I can torture everyone else with my collection of music on the trip. Mwa ha ha ha.
That is all.

Oi
You left out the most exciting part about the shopping excursion to Sam's Club, which was you falling into the box containing the giant pink and blue stuffed bunnies (and the one yellow chick). Since it is tangentially related to your trip, I think it should definitely go in the book :D
Cheers
It wasn't an intentional exclusion as much as a mental block on an unpleasant experience. Note to self: Never hug the big fuzzy stuffed animals while wearing a black wool coat. That coat probably still has remnants of pink, yellow and blue fuzz on it. And for the record, I ALMOST fell into the box. Almost. I was trying to pull the big green frog from the bottom of the pile of fuzzy animals.
It is under consideration for the book. :D
