Hike Prep

Here are some happy things from today:

• This morning Zed picked me up at the place I was getting my car worked on.  He bought me a peppermint steamer on the way home.  It was yummy.  After that I spent most of the day watching Keziah play a video game.  It has a story based between the fighting parts.  I think I just liked being with family.
• When my car was finished, Bel and I decided to go on a short walk.  We drove north of the city to the rail trail.  There is a bridge there that I thought was interesting and wanted to show Bel.  When I was about halfway across the bridge I remembered that I didn't ever want to go over it again.  We made it over and continued to walk a little before turning around.  It was getting dark and I wanted to be over the bridge again while there was still light.  It was a nice little walk.  The fresh air was good.

• Some of the things Bel and I have been meaning to do was to see if my former sleeping bag would fit Bel and if both sleeping bags, pads, and each other would fit in my tent.  We set it all up in the livingroom and we do!  Plans are coming together for our big hike next year.

Bel snuggled in the sleeping bag.

Bel put a bunch of camping things into their backpack then attached the cast iron frying pan to the front.  The cast iron won't be coming with us.
