Hi Jeffry,

I am having a bit of difficulty grasping the logistics of the desert
sleeping arrangements you wrote about. You dug a sleeping hole / trench..
and you slept in the trench with your ground cover above you capturing
water? er what?? sorrry for being so dense, but I am curious.

Sincerely,

Marjory
