( cut so you can ignore the bitching part - it rained a lot and things broke )
However, we slept dry, which as Eor points out is a gigantic accomplishement in torrential rains. We weren't particularly uncomfortable, actually, and we could still have tea and lie in a snug bed reading in the evenings. The hiking went well - I made it up Cannon and back down, although I didn't think I'd be able to when we started up. :) That went really amazingly smoothly. I wore my old sneakers (the ones Looks to Alaska gave me years ago after she had worn them for a summer or so, and they were second-hand when she got them) rather than the expensive hiking boots, and my toes were a bit sore but I had no blisters. (I feel a little guilty about that because I spent so much money on the hiking boots, but they're still good boots for the winter and all.) I need some new sneakers that fit me as well as those old ones.
All in all, I feel happy with the trip. We had some fun, some things went quite well, and the things that didn't we coped with well. And even an imperfect camping trip is miles better than work. ;)
