Packing up

As I said yesterday, we are camping this weekend so today is a flurry of packing. Yesterday was a flurry of packing too.

We go to a small lake high in the mountains, far off the main roads. It has no services, no showers, no bathrooms, not even remotely near any place that receives cell phone service, and where there is barely any radio reception. It is just you and your small class B motor home against the world A class B motorhome is built on a regular van body, fully customised inside to contain everything you need. Now, when we camp, we stay warm and dry, no matter how awful the weather.

This mornings rush will be to finish the laundry pack some clothes, and be ready for work, all before 6:30 when I have to head out with Mr. Needles. I'll knit in the van before I start my work day at 10. We'll get away as early as possible that way and we will only drive in once. With fuel prices what they are, every little bit helps, but it really is the full half hour we gain by going in together that counts.

Pictures and adventure stories on Monday, or maybe Tuesday. You know how it is. It is hard to leave a mountain get away. We might just phone in sick.
