    Heats to 140 degrees in two hours of direct sun at noon. I mean if you wanted a shower in the morning, you'd have to set it up the day before an hope the water... what am I talking about? There is underboob present. Underboob for god sakes.

    Hmm, I tried to post something like this an hour or two ago, but it seems to have gotten lost.
    Anyway, you just need to remember it's summer and you are ok to enjoy the great big outdoors near SF. I used to live there and am now in San Jose. We have been camping in the local redwoods parks and beach parks six times this summer and have three more planned in August. Come home by 5:00 pm Friday and you can be at a park by 6:30 - 7:00 which works great in the summer. Come home Sunday late afternoon and you have had 48 hours away :-) Samual P Taylor, Butano, and Big Basin state parks are all < 90 minutes away from SF. I bet there are a few more in Marin, but I do not know that area too well. It's easier than our winters when we drive up to Tahoe almost every weekend. And yes, I do have kids: one of them made it to SnoModo this year.
    If you want to be be away from the cell, just go to Big Basin: it is in a basin where there is no cell connectivity at all in the camping areas.

    I just did this less than a week ago when I went on vacation to Lake Chautauqua in New York. I was excited this year because the cottage we stay at finally got wifi and it meant that I wouldnt have to steal the neighbors.

    But as soon as I got there I just got disgusted with my gadgets. So I sent out the following text message and email. "Phones off for the week, same with the laptop. Talk to you Monday." It was scary, but It felt good.

    Anyway, words can't describe how jealous I am of any commenter that got to go with you on Summermodo. The second picture to me is absolute heaven. It's like all my favorite things bundled into one. But I haven't tried kite-surfing, and I am dying to try it out. Hope your doing still doing this two years from now.
