I will be driving my Honda Element, the PERFECT camping vehicle:

 

I will also be breaking in my new tent, a Big Agnes Jupiter’s Cabin. It replaces my old Eureka Backcountry 4, pictured above, which was finally sent to that big campground in the sky by my brother’s cats.

Here is a picture of the new tent from a 3 day trip last month:

I took it up to Palomar Mountain and was impressed by it’s performance in the rain for the first 2 days. At least it was sunny the last day I was there…

I visited Palomar Mountain State Park and Cuyamaca Rancho State Park.

Here are the videos of those campgrounds:

Thanks to McDonalds and their free wi-fi, I will be able to update this blog every 2 to 3 days. So keep checking in and see what trouble I will be getting myself into!
