So to continue the “first” camping entry, I am entering this during our second trip. Go figure.

To sum up the first car camping experience in one word… success. It was nice weather with a spritz of rain early morning and the over night temperature was bearable never having zipped up the sleeping bags. Though the rain fly was zipped to keep some coolness out, it stayed in the upper 60s.

As we set up camp as well as broke camp, I demonstrated and worked with my junior partner on the equipment. Though having been “back to” camping, a lot of research and talking with the experienced gave me a good bit of insight on the ins and outs of this newer, “specialized” camping. I’ll define specialized as not my momma’s camping… ultralight, multi-use equipment versus the old Coleman kerosene lantern stated before.

Anyway, it was a great start and we really enjoyed the initial use of our new equipment. Now on to more entries and camping. (If not showing, a picture will be posted soon)
