Today my bud and I are taking a break from gaming Super Sumi Sunday.

Instead, we’re going camping!  My bud’s been wanting to have some quiet time away from the computer and other people, so we’re packing up our camping supplies and heading up to Mount Charleston where it’s quite a bit cooler temperature wise than anywhere else in Las Vegas.

While they have camp sites up there on the main road, my bud wanted to go down a more rugged path – one that needs a 4WD.  Thank goodness we’ve got the trusty Sumi-mobile RAV4!  (Which is technically an AWD, but it’s not like we’re traversing mud or anything.  Plus anything with the Sumi stamp of approval is going to do just fine anytime, anywhere! )

I approved of most of the camping supplies we took.

And then I saw this spray can.

What is this?  BEAR SPRAY?  I’m a bit offended.

Wait, are there real bears in the territory?!?!?!  I push this thought out of my mind.

We get there and pitch camp.  My bud set up his tent.  Then he sets up mine.  I get in my tent right away, make sure it’s set up the way I want.

Here we are, perched on a hilltop, overlooking the mountains.  My bud and I, king of the mountain.

Just the way things should be.
