I see activity is about normal. Not to let the day go by without at least 1 post...

Back from my 1 night camping trip.

Wow, Don, that tent looks a lot bigger. Did you take photos on your phone so you could  send them to us? It appears that you found a nice spot under a sweet tree to set up camp and hopefully watch the sun set or rise the next morning. 

How did the tent work out for you?

Nice camping kit, Don. The new tent must fold down quite compactly; does the cycle have storage for it or do you use a backpack?

As Lorell noted, that looks to be a fine spot to set up for the night. There is something very special about waking early to experience the silence and serenity of calm waters.

Hi Lorell. I hope all is well with you.

I love how the bike has its own tent. Smile
Looks like a nice spot to contemplate the navel.

Good morning folks.

Lorell, yes, it is much larger than my first tent and worked out well as far as roominess. I can actually stand up to change clothes, and there is plenty of room for my cot and all my other "stuff".  I did take a few photos with both my phone and my Lumix. Nothing to write home about though.

Dave, it doesn't pack up as compactly as the smaller tent, obviously, but the trade off is worth it to me. Here is a photo of the packed bike before I left home. I need to figure out a better way to pack though as this configuration was not very comfortable - takes up too much of the seat. I will probably remove the tail bag and move the tent bag and dry bag back to give me more room.

So, here is the packed bike, a flower photo, a tree image that I played with in Topaz, and of course, my breakfast that I cooked in camp.  Smile
