St. Joseph Road

In less than two weeks we leave for a week's "vacation" in Canada. I used quotes around the word vacation because you know how our vacations usually are... sort of like our favorite picture:

Recently we've been really busy with a bunch of different things, and we haven't started any preparations for our trip. For all our previous excursions, we'd started making lists and pulling/prep-ing camping gear and work equipment by this time. One good thing is: we haven't put away the small amount of camping gear we used last weekend -- so those few items are ready to go!

A second good thing is: we've ordered a screen house with bonus points from a credit card and hopefully it will arrive before we leave. Figuring that mosquitoes will probably be horrible, we want to put the shower inside a screen house so that we can clean up without being eaten alive. Ah yes... the little luxuries mean so much while you're livin' in the woods. Maybe next year we'll get a screen house for the latrine! Ha!

I know it all sounds crazy to some of you, but Michael and I really love it.

Weirdos.

Shower in DEET imo. Two birds with one stone, no screen needed.
