    First overnight hang tonight near Mt. Fuji

    Well, I have a bunch of gear on order

    ...but virtually all of it either in production, or in transit

    Temps are anticipated to be around 20F (I hope)

    I'll have my:
    Eno Doublenest
    AHE Flamethrower UQ
    ...and all my normal camping stuff: Thermarest, reflective pads, down bags, etc...
    Plus some really nice Scuba drysuit undergarments. They take me down to 10C underwater and kick butt for camping

    One of the boys might join me since we have one other Eno, or they might both sleep in the DiveMobile...we'll see...

    Stuff I wish I had:
    Dreamwalker 650 (in transit). I really want to try this. I think it will be really useful around camp.
    Winter Incubator
    Superfly on the way, but we don't expect any precipitation and I know some good spots protected from wind.

    We'll be at Motosuko, one of the 5 lakes that are near the base of Mt. Fuji. It's 2-3 hours drive for us (depending on how many other folks have the same idea as us). Here are some pictures from last time: (Hmm...the insert didn't seem to work, linked to Facebook. I'll insert them below)

    I'll let you all know how it turned out Sunday night (Sunday here, that is)...

    That's awesome diver. I miss that place so much and it's really great you're getting out there. I'm really looking forward to seeing the pics. Have a great time tonight and stay warm.

    I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.
