[Don]

Another week almost gone... I went for a short camping trip on the Spyder this week, leaving Tuesday and returning yesterday. I went to a State Park about 90 miles away, 2 hours or so. It was very hot, and I really shouldn't have chanced it. Here are a few snapshots. First is shortly after arrival and set up, next is all loaded back up and ready to start home. Number 3 - I started getting leg and arm cramps which I have gotten before, so I had to make a stop to drink some water and try to "walk it off". I had thought it was just age related, but after getting home and finally researching, it may be a combination of dehydration (although I tried to drink a lot of water) and lack of Potassium and/or Magnesium. Anyway, I have ordered some Potassium&Magnesium supplements, along with some pickle juice. As mentioned, it was quite hot, and even though it was early I was soaked with sweat after loading up for the trip home. We'll see if the supplements and pickle juice help.

Tonight a couple of friends of mine are performing just up the road at a sports bar, and I am thinking of dropping in to see them for a bit. We'll see.
