Odds and Ends

Clay came by the house this afternoon and we went through his gear inventory. We were able to go on -line and get a great deal on a Kelty 0 degree bag from Overstock.com. That was the first time that I used Google shopping to find the best price and it worked well....Wes and Clay can fit well into my Marmot 2 person tent but they will not be able to put their gear inside....Made reservations at the Motel 6 in Fort Stockton, Texas for 2 rooms at $45.99 a night (I am sure they are palatial rooms).....Still trying to get my gear organized but the more I try the more mess that I make....I really need an air mattress for my time in the desert (these joints just do not like the hard ground anymore).....I made my final decision on clothes for the pack and settled on my down jacket vs. a polar fleece below a waterproof shell.....Clay was very excited about the trip and said that all his friends were jealous (made me feel good).....Wes got a new job as soon as we get back from the trip so that was good news......It really needs to warm up before we leave for our trip......
