Meatstock 2007

Back in April, we went to Soupstock, and I wrote about it here and here. This weekend is Meatstock, and we’re leaving Friday night for the whole weekend.

They are having this event a little further away than we are use to traveling, and it should take us about 2 hours to get to Delamar Lake, which is a dry lake bed, and a former landing strip for planes in the Cold War. It’s on BLM land, so it’s a totally free weekend, we just need to take out all we bring in, and leave no trace. Here’s a picture, just imagine a small little tent city in the middle.

Michael is making carne asada, which is always a good camping food, and from all the group emails it looks like we will be eating like kings. Ernie is bringing the must needed generator driven coffee pot as it’s suppose to be freezing all weekend long. It will be nice waking up to a hot cup of java.

No need for the Vegans to come out for this one. It’s all about bringing your meat for other’s to eat. (that sounds so dirty) HA!

Hi-Tec Hiking Boots at Zappos

I just got new hiking boots from Zappos.com. I didn’t have a lot to spend, so after Michael’s 40% discount, I scored on this pair of Hi-Tec
Cape Trail WP for only $44 bucks!

They feel pretty good on my feet, and I’m excited to test them out this weekend at the Virgin Gorge baby! Pictures to follow, I’m sure.

Squishy Bowls

Michael came across these cool Squishy Bowls on the internet today. They are made of silicone and they squish down for easy packing in your backpack.

They claim they are sturdy, and can withstand up to 400 degrees! You can either wash them out if water is available, or turn them inside out and lick them clean, and they come in 4 pretty colors, Tahoe Blue, tomato, Celery, and Slate.

They come in a Bowl & Cup set for $15.95. Just one Medium Bowl sells for $10.95, and two Travel Shots will run you $7.95. You can pick them up at REI, or Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Pretty nifty!

Tent Camping

As you guys know we love tent camping. It’s truly the only way to camp in our minds. Our friends gave us a new tent as a wedding gift, that we haven’t gotten to use yet, but we will soon, and maybe even in the snow! I came across a pretty informative site all about tent camping. It’s not flashy and fancy, just informative and straight to the point. They cover everything from types of tents, which ones to use in different weather conditions, and even links to the manufacturers websites where you can order them. And if you like eBay, they have a link to buying tents on the auction site as well.
