the west's wide open spaces, but we still always have water and TP and now 4 rechargeable hand warmers/phone chargers, plus sleeping bags.

Other things are in a duffle I haven't checked in years and really should. (No idea at all what books to while away time might be in there.) I know it has pairs of rain suits and walking shoes because we've had to use them. Lots of rain here. My husband has auto tools. Hmmm, wonder if my old pair of muck boots is still in the trunk? I used to wear them to look for native plants. Lots of snakes and mud here also.

Stream of consciousness survey. Maybe it's time for a once-in-a-decade real one.
