We are inEucla tonight and have coverage. Unfortunately my iPad battery is low and we don't have power, so I will have to charge it in the car tomorrow. All is well. Sadly the other guy in the group has the flu and feels horrid. His wife got brave today and drove. She had been too scared to.
I have got very good at hammering in tent pegs and getting them out the next morning. Showering and toilet ing in our own little tent !



Getting wood for the fire.

Thanks all. I have nicked DH's iPad as mine is flat. He is over at the shower.

Gert, the stars are really amazing. I have the window in my tent, open and I can look out at night and see them. Truly beautiful.
