I’m going for a 2-night Nashville and 3-night Great Smoky Mountains trip, and I’m way overpacked – collapsible arm chair, sleeping bag & mat, blanket, pillow, bottles of water, shoes, clothes, toiletries, torchlight, batteries, mosquito repellant, raincoat, etc – I have more stuff than when I flew back from Malaysia. But since we are frontcountry camping, Becky’s SUV will be right there beside the campsite so we can just leave most things in the car.

My new camera still has not arrived so I’ll have to make do with a single-use “disposable” camera
