Off to Arroyo Seco

I'm leaving this afternoon for the Arroyo Seco campground. I'm showing up a day early for the Fandangowinnemucka camping trip. It will be nice to have a chill, quiet night before the whole gang shows up. On the menu: black bean tacos, some lovely reading (China Mieville and Haruki Murakami) and a little stargazing.

See some of you in just a few dozen hours! Anyone who feels like bringing me a little ice to supplement my cooler (particularly on Saturday), you'd be my hero.
