We took off for a "trial run" on a last minute whim. We decided to take a quick trip south near the border to Patagonia to do some birding and also to do a little canoeing on a quiet little desert lake. Unfortunately the wind came up so we didn't dare put the canoe in the water, but the birding was great. Good opportunity to recheck our list and see what we had forgotten to pack into the RV for the BIG trip.
