Spent this weekend camping in the desert with Joyce. The previous two weekends we camped in the mountains where the nighttime temperatures dropped in the 30’s F. So instead of wearing layers of clothing and down coats, we were able to sit outside at night in shorts and T-shirts.

So for the next 6 months or so, I will be camping or backing in the desert. It is that time of year. If we have sufficient snow, I will make an exception for some winter backpacking in the white world.
