Hi all, time for our first travel update...

Left Portland on Tuesday (5/6/14), stopped overnight with friends Brett and Dianne Morris overnight, then met with our old iQuad teammate JD Fabich in the morning and were inspired to veer east for Lake Tahoe on our way down to San Francisco. :)

Some images from the drive down...

We finally landed in South Lake Tahoe around 8pm and set up a quick camp at "Campground by the Lake" for a fast grill meal.

Now I'm awake and TK is snoozing...

I'm sure she'll be on a bit later to add more story and images, as will I... We should be here one more night, then off to the Bay Area on May 9th.

Love y'all, follow your hearts! ;)

Oh God. You're killing me already. I'm going to die of jealousy. At least I'll get to camp for GLKF next week.

This is going to be a really long 6 months for myself. Can't wait for the next update.

I gotta say those two man tents can get pretty tight after a long weekend campout, but I imagine the weather would be cooperative that you wouldn't be in it except to sleep.

Bit of drizzle overnight, but not too bad and it seems to have stopped now.

And yes, finding this tent to be a little tight - especially in length, I'm 6 foot 3 and am getting my feet / pillow a little wet on the wall condensation.

Time to roust my cutie for packing and the drive into SF, and a whole new forum topic. :)

Yes condensation is the worst, especially with two people. Just make sure your vents are fully open and if the weather cooperates, face your tent into the wind in these warm months to get the most airflow to recycle the air and remove condensation. Unzip the top of the door shade for more airflow. Those three season tens can hold a lot of heat when it's over 40F.
