I'm getting pretty excited for my canoe trip.

I went and got a new sleeping mat as well as a few dry sacks. I made the mistake last year of not bringing any dry sacks. I had just used a garbage bag because I found that as a tip online last year. Nothing got wet, luckily, but it would have sure been nice to know that my things wouldn't get wet in the event of a tip or just plain old rain.

I'm excited for my sleeping mat. It's pretty small and will fit nicely on my hiking pack. I also thought I lost my water purifier, but I found it in the place that I left it last year.

I've even aired out my tent. I am sooo ready. Bring it on Minnesota!
