Amanda and I are trying to get another camping trip in before the school year starts, and it looks like we might actually get two. The first, if memory serves and without having my calendar in front of me, is between September 6th and 9th at a location that is yet to be determined. The second is a trip being planned by the Writing Center’s summer staff on September 10th as a wrap-up to all the summer work — sort of an “end of the quarter party” like we usually have during the academic year, only an overnight camping trip instead.

We’re trying to find a decent campsite for our trip earlier in the week that isn’t too long of a drive from Olympia — Amanda’s picking the place, and I told her that the maximum drive time was probably about three and a half hours. We’ll see what that nets us (since it definitely allows for a number of possibilities). The Writing Center’s trip, I’m told, is to a site no more than 20 minutes away.
