I ended up planning all of this within the past 4 days, but tomorrow morning Janine and I will be loading up the car with camping gear and the kayaks and heading out for a weekend of kayaking and camping fantasticalness!
We'll be heading toward central Illinois (specifically the Rockford area) to paddle on the Kishwaukee river tomorrow afternoon. It looks like we'll have a good 14 mile trip on our hands. After that we'll spend the night at a gramp-ground (It's more of a motorhome and trailer park, but all we need is space for the tents and a good ol' fire ring) right on the river itself. It'll be a short trip, but it's the first time that we'll be able to put all of our new camping stuff to good use!
As I type this, a nice clap of thunder rolls through the air. This weather should be out of the area by the time we hit the river tomorrow. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
