Josh hit a thesis-writing milestone and tomorrow we are heading out for an overnight camping trip, most likely on the Chena River.  It's been kind of drizzly but we are both looking forward to some quiet time on our own: a little food and wine, lots of fishing, and maybe a good book (I'm reading A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalaichan Trail by Bill Bryson).  We got a new tent, a Eureka Tetragon 5, that needs testing after being waterproofed.

I'll also be taking some time to outline an exciting two weeks of posts - some thoughts about the upcoming wedding and of course more details about the three-week, 5500+ mile road trip across North America that we're about to take.  Next weekend I'm heading to the Chatinika River with friends for a three-day canoe trip that I am positive will provide much blog-worthy material.  Oh, and I have a little surprise up my sleeve that I think you guys might enjoy...

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
