[SIZE=12pt]We finally received our Bobcat on Friday. Super stoked with how it turned out - Marty and his team did a great job on the custom build out of the shell - I will post some pictures of the slide-out twin bed/table set-up & u-shaped couch at some point in the ATC thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]On Saturday, I did a local trail run in the morning and Mrs. Shoestring did a local mountain bike ride in the afternoon. We then packed up the Bobcat and headed north to the Lakes Basin, about an hour drive from Truckee. We arrived around 5:30ish, giving us enough time to get situated and have a nice happy hour by Snag Lake. We ate a quick simple dinner of Mac and Cheese with Tuna and sauteed veggies (we which we pre-cooked at home for simplicity sake), and then settled in for the night. [/SIZE]

We all enjoyed a nice sunset, and our son was really into the moon and stars...as we haven't figured out his bed situation yet (i.e., how to keep an active infant contained), we all slept together in the big bed...not the best night sleep, but not the worst either. Most importantly, the bed itself is very comfortable.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]In the a.m., I dropped my wife off at the PCT trailhead near Bassets, and she ran to Jackson Meadows (close to the where the WTW rally will be in October). Got in a short walk on the PCT when I picked her up...my son's first venture onto the PCT.
We are all just happy to have our first trip behind us and look forward to many, many more.[/SIZE]
