the new sleeping bag

The tear is a good place to sleep.

It is a notch above sleeping in a tent, but the temp inside is a good bit warmer than outside and the mattress is as thick as the one at home. It is comfortable and it is easy to stay warm!

The 2nd night out I decided to push the bedding back all the way to the foot of the bed and get out the new sleeping bag that was a gift from our oldest grandson, and sleep on top of the bed.

It is a double bag. Not too many made like that. Zipper on both sides, bit opening at the top, but narrower at the foot.

Miriam, as always, was suspect of any change. AD people don’t want their boat rocked in any way. It took her a bit to figure out all the differences. And, in her defense, most devices, even those as simple as a sleeping bag to have some features to get used to, but we slept well. Really well.

The night before had been 27, but this night it clouded over and was a bit warmer, so we did not get to test it in the coldest temps.

We will sleep in it again. And again.

Today i emptied the teardrop, boxed the galley, brought the bedding inside, then wrapped the lady up in a blanket and two tarps. She is totally covered, tires, hitch, everything.

I was pretty sure that had been the last campout of the year, then I talked to a friend who wants to go camping again this fall.

We will see.

It does not take much to convince me!
