Nice blog!

I read the whippoorwill winter post and it reminded me of the very first time I took my wife camping. Borrowed a bunch of gear, and should have thrown the extra sleeping bags in the car instead of just the two that looked best... And then the cold front arrived early.

It's unbelievable, isn't it? I've never felt so unprepared for something as I did that night. We couldn't believe that the night was a full 60 degrees colder than the day. The next morning, we got in the truck, drove to the closest town, and just sat there in the parking lot of a Walmart going "...so... we almost died, didn't we?"
