A bit late for comments , but since you’ll probably go camping again I’d like to put in a word of concern… Camping with cotton clothes is not a good idea, especially since you know it’ll get cold. A good pair of tropical wool pants will be just as lightweight, and extend your comfort range considerably. They’ll protect you from sun and insects. Your readers won’t worry about you getting terminally chilled should you happen to get caught in a storm. As to chenille, it is soft, but it’ll really kill you if it gets humid (sweat is a source of humidity too). You can go all polar-fleece, but you can also be safer in natural fibers if you prefer.

1) I don’t hate laundry. I am opposed to crossing the Laundry Nazi (the Laundry Fairy’s evil twin).

2) Dogs in a public area – is there a chapter on that in _A Pattern Language_? In any case, one of them did a very nice rendition of Red River. And the other one apparently hates for humans to have to encounter feral sticks (he promptly chases them down, gnaws them, and carts them off when they are pointed out to him).

Hi everybody
I’m logging in from a (very small/crude) coffee house across from the campground. The place would never pass a health inpsection (dogs running around inside etc) but they have a wifi …and the dogs are friendly.

Gosh, Kathleen, you’re well over halfway to our lovely mountain area – camping? We’ll show you camping! Those of us in the Denver area would make you SO welcome!

Next year, think about tacking another couple days onto your trip. People can fill in for you on the F-I site, and good as they are, it makes everyone appreciate you more.

“The laundry fairy gets to keep any money she finds in the dryer. The laundry fairy scored $5 yesterday.”

Thanks for the laugh. Living alone there are no fairies about … if I thought leaving money in the pockets would attract one to get the laundry done my washer would be a slot machine that always pays!

Being the laundry fairy is great. My mom was the laundry fairy when I was growing up. She got to keep the money too. When my dad went to a uninon meeting and was too lazy to clean out his pockets my mom would find $20to $45 once in awhile more. Mom and I would go out to lunch.
Have fun on your get-a-way.
