Out with the Old

After 8 years of service to me, and several more before that for my parents, I have retired my trusty old down sleeping bag and upgraded. I'll be spending the summer snuggled in my new Diamond Spring bag. I'd wavered about buying the bag, not sure if I wanted another down bag given one disastrous night on the Westcoast Trail where I slept cold and damp. But since it was still 25% off 3 months after first looking at it, I took that as a sign that I was meant to own it and bought it yesterday. Plus, down is just so snuggly! I then had to go celebrate by eating french fries dipped in a frosty dairy dessert from the Wendys across the road.
