Just got back a little while ago from my second S24O this year. Even though the destination was the same, the trip was entirely different. First off, took the Atlantis instead of the Hillborne. So they each have one trip in this year. Second, instead of being down by the river, camped in the upper half of the park. Besides being less populated, it was closer to a railroad bridge I've wanted to photograph. Still packed too much stuff. But did have fun. Also have determined that, for me, during summer, an older Filson feathercloth shirt works better than seersucker at keeping pests off my arms yet can be almost comfortable.
The bad parts. My pace was decidedly slower than on the Hillborne. Not sure why, although the extra heat this time probably was a factor. Then it rained this morning. Thankfully stopped by the time I rolled out. But still, had to pack up a wet tent. And lastly, my camping neighbors were no where near as nice as the last batch. That's the luck of the draw. But the overall good news was - my new sleeping pad is a much better choice. The Therm-a-rest "egg carton" may work for some folks. Not for me. Oh, and my new (old) digital camera worked just fine in documenting the trip.
