Going away for the weekend

Right now I am currently waiting for some friends from out of town to arrive at my house. They are coming tonight and then tomorrow we plan on all packing up and hitting the road to go tipi camping on the John Day river. It sounds pretty neat to me, since I have never slept out in a tipi before. We are taking our bikes, going to a little museum that used to be a chinese herb store, and then taking a trip up to the fossil beds. Its been a while since I totally submerged myself in nature and history. I am looking forward to it! ~S
