C'mon NA, the Greek islander in you is dying to come out!

Picked up an air mattress and camelback at Costco. God I love Costco.

Got a tent at REI. We could have just borrowed one of CP's parents' ancient ones, but figured it was time we owned our own. We also figured a 4 person would be nice for the extra room if we're alone or to allow us to camp with others who don't have their own. Plus, the one we got is 6` tall so we can actually stand up in it!

I have toyed with the idea, but I know it would not have fit in any of the sites we had last year - not even one of the rounds. I don't know how big the sites are at KC, but I don't want to chance it.

Went to the REI sale. No shoes for me. More proof that I'm the pickiest person on earth.

Capt Jack · 05-03-2008, 07:59 PM

a pity really. looks awesome and fun

Well, we attempted to do a test-pitch of our new tent in our living room. It quickly became apparent that a 9'x9' tent in a 16'x16' room with furniture is not an option. We started to move out front, but clouds were looking ominous so we aborted the whole operation.

At least we got practice packing it back up.

You learned a lot then: that often is a challenge.

Capt Jack · 05-05-2008, 11:49 AM

the packing it back up is the hard part anyway.
