I did my first solo overnight car camping trip!
I started with a 9 mile hike in the Armstrong Redwoods (Amazing!), then stayed at a local KOA.
What I learned:
Have a backup plan for dinner
Wind makes it really hard to set up a lightweight tent
I can start (and maintain) a fire!
My gear all worked well, and I slept better than I expected to.
In the end, I think what was the most exciting was that I could comfortably go a little wilder. I'm already working on the next trip. After months of wondering how it would go, I'm excited and feeling pretty confident.
