Minor Changes
My Luminics yellow bulbs arrived today and after I made it back to my apartment this afternoon I busied myself with getting it installed. I didn’t realize how much I would like the look.

There is a good chance that my original plan of 3 days - 2 nights will be extended to 4 days - 3 nights. This will depend on if we stay in a centralized location instead of riding the initially planned route. The main benefit would be the storing of our gear in a centralized [...]
