Hey, good morning. We are back at home. Got a good night’s sleep and am ready to tackle the day. Mostly have to clean up storm damage as we had some wind here and put away gear from the trip. James will be here to help.

So yea, I admit I forgot to pack the tent on our trip. That was the first time I have done that one but I always seem to forget something important. Here is a list from past adventures: gun, ammo, knives and forks, boots, coat, stovepipe. I seem to have a knack of leaving out one key component. But hey, that’s what keeps it exciting.

The guys took it pretty well and tackled the problem with aplomb. “OK, we don’t have the tent but what do we have?” So, we had the poles and the bag with the ground tarp, stakes and ropes. So in the dark we constructed something quite elegant I must say. The guys nicknamed it the Elk Motel as it was a little less monumental than the Elk Hotel which is the proper tent we are used to. The Elk Hotel has one window while the Elk Motel is mostly windows. But hey, this is largely why guys go camping so they can problem solve with primitive stuff like shovels, axes and duct tape. So, it’s all good.

Well off I go. I will wait till I get pic of the Motel before I publish this but you have three posts to read in the meantime. Love, Felipe.
