This weekend, Mike, myself, Marisa, and a few of her friends are heading out for an overnight desert campout. We haven't been out in over a year and I'm really excited for some photo opportunities. It's a good time of year to go out because it hasn't gotten too hot yet, but I'm hoping it also won't be too cold, as the desert tends to get chilly at night.

Quick story... on my last camping trip out in Anza-Borrego, we decided to sleep under the stars. The night was clear and the millions of tiny glittering lights overhead were both peaceful and beautiful... and not something you normally see in the city with the abundance of street lamps. I fell asleep, warm and cozy in my sleeping bag, only to wake up an hour or two later to a light pressure on my chest. I must have moved because the little critter got nervous and bounded up and across my face, taking a final leap off my head as I sat up and frantically tried to wipe off the feel of little paws from my forehead.

This time we'll be sleeping in a tent.
