My first night out

[Anhedonic]

About an hour ago I woke up from my first night out. Apart from a little generator drama, everything went very well. 

I wish I had done this 30 years ago! Thank you to all of you who have helped me get going with your advice and insight.

I'm in Connecticut at a small, regional burn. It's a small, Burning Man type event. Most people are arriving today. I arrived early because I need to stay in the van. By this evening the place will be hopping.

It's only about two hours from home, but boondocking for the first time. These events have anywhere from 300 to several thousand people all doing leave-no-trace boondocking or tent camping.
