New tent...

Today, I got a notice in the mail to say that my new REI tent (http://www.rei.com/product/731428) was at the post office for me to pickup. Last week, I was trying to think about the first thing I would do with my tent. There is a grassy patch near where I live so, I'm going to setup the tent and see how it all goes together as well as to try out the footprint. The tent comes at a great time as I have a couple of trips in the future where it will come in handy.

REI has a 20% off sale for the next week which is sweet! One thing that would have been handy on the Shenandoah hiking trip is a camelback to slide into the top of my backpack. There are a couple of configurations that I'm looking at, (http://www.rei.com/product/733683) and (http://www.rei.com/product/749987).
