Prologue VII - All Silent on the Southern Front

I know there’s been a lack of updates, but when there’s a lack of things to update about I suppose that’s going to happen. Unfortunately none of my post-OBX trips worked out, so there’s been no new reconnaissance. In some cases my lack of success has helped make certain decisions for me. For instance, I still haven’t solved my sleeping bag problem, even after a day of traipsing from one outdoors shop to another. Instead I’ll likely end up taking the existing sleeping bag and take a sheet and make a bed out of it.

Prologue VI - OBX Post Mortem

I've had a little over a week to think about it, and I wanted to address some of the things that did or didn't go well with my recent trip. While I did have a great time even if I did hover perilously close to breaking one of my cardinal vacationing rules - that being you must spend more time at your destination than you did traveling - there were things that clearly did not go well.
