With the coming field season rapidly approaching and with me being the only female, the opportunity to purchase some new camping equipment has come upon us. A one man tent
A 45 degree Lightyear sleeping bag
And a new self inflating bed pad All of which are super light weight and easy to deal with for late night set up of camp. Mark has an ulterior motive dream behind these acquisitions as well, a dream involving the purchase of a motorcycle on the other side of the country and driving cross county camping out along the way home. Hmm. We'll have to see about that one, it's one of those things that I'm not entirely on board for (like his plan to once again own a Twilight Zone pinball machine, fine for a bachelor pad, but too much noise and being gratuitous for me). It involves a high risk and Mark has a vehicle or two already, but I'm also all for fulfilling Mark's dreams. He would have to take out extra life insurance or something; I'm not too keen on the idea of losing Mark to some other driver's stupidity and lack of awareness of motorcycle riders. I have complete faith in Mark's riding abilities, he has thousands of miles riding under his belt, it's the other people that I worry about.
