I would give a lot to be able to hear the chit-chat at the S. Pender
campsite right about now (8am Saturday morning). It was 29F at 5am today but
at least we didn't get any snow. I think the Puget Sound and Gulf Islands
area got some. I know Everett did.

I'm thinking Doug is going to appreciate that new tent. Hope he has a good
sleeping bag and a nice, thick, comfy pad. Those and a good book will get ya
through a lot.
