Dimensioning a 2-D PPB

[Distant Thunder]

It's been a long time since I was over by the Ontonagon river. I did some camping over there with friends years ago. Beautiful country, but most of what up this way is like that. It's getting late enough in the summer that the bugs are down during the middle of the day anyway. Now it just needs to cool off another 20 degrees and lose the humidity.

Rapids is 4 hours away for me if everything goes well, but I figure 4 1/2 to be safe. That means I'd have to leave the house by 3:15 am! I'd have to get up 1 hour before that in order to consume enough coffee to be semi-functional enough to drive. I don't think that works for me, so I will drive over Friday afternoon and avoid all the deer that are on the road in the early morning hours. I've made it a whole year without hitting a deer and I'm hoping to stretch that even more if I can! The buggers are everywhere!
