If this should be in the OT section, move it.
I went camping for the first time since using my e-cig this weekend. We went to Jawbone Canyon which is a little over 20 miles from Mojave, CA (....ty 350 mile drive from here, I hate I-5). My friends have been doing this trip yearly for well over 10 years and I've missed the past 2 (been there 5-6 times now). It was my first time "going away" with my e-cig and not having any kind of power to charge batteries. Of course I took about 10x the stuff I needed with me and went through 3 18490s and about half of an 18650 from Thurs-Sun. I was the first one out to the location on Thursday afternoon and had nothing better to do after setting up camp than drink beers, vape and randomly shoot at said beer cans. I had around 3.5 hours of alone time in the high desert with the closest person being 2+ miles away (it was very calming being there alone when the sun was setting and looking out over the valley). It was a great trip and I'm still waiting for my friends to upload pics and videos from it. I'll try to update this when they get them up.
We had a small turn out this year and just had about 12-13 of us between the Norcal and Socal people. Usually there's 20-25 people that show up for this. I definitely prefer the smaller group. It's quieter and there's less debauchery going on (I'm getting old). Not having to babysit people that decide to use the harder drugs is nice as well.
Looking out over where you come into the camping spot. That's about a 20' drop just below my feet.
Ummm, for a size comparison.
The beater, my tent and a bit of desert scenery.
At our "shooting range" away from camp (I'm in the camo shorts in the first pic).
