Dark Side of the Moon

Be on the lookout tonight for a total eclipse of the moon.

We had hoped to put up our tent, sans rain fly, and watch the eclipse snug as bugs under winter sleeping bags and an electric blanket. Our weather, unfortunately, is not getting with the plan. The forecast calls for rain and snow, with 30 mph winds and an overnight low of 16 degrees.

The last time I camped in such conditions was March 1984, for a PE credit in winter camping. That was the most painful college credit I ever earned.

snuggling w/ your honey would ALMOST make winter camping worth it. I haven't winter camped since the army. Can't say I've missed it.

I can't stand summer camping, forget about winter.

We meant to get out to look at the sky last night, but fell asleep watching TV instead. That seems to happen all too often lately.
