Indiana Dunes State Park- Friday evening

[throughaphase]

By the time the group rolled in to the Indiana Dunes it was probably too late to do any real hiking, but you had plenty of time to get set up for the night. Which meant putting up tents, building fires and cooking. You know, the fun stuff before the temperature dipped into the high 40's overnight.

You could also explore the campgrounds! There were electrical hookups... but the ones at this site were on the fritz, so hopefully people brought portable chargers if they really needed their phones. Or you could ask someone at a neighboring site to ask theirs and make new friends. There was also a pump for fresh water and bathrooms that were nearbyish, if you didn't mind a little bit of walking.

So maybe tonight was a little bit of work. It'd just mean you really earned whatever dinner and junk food you brought.

"That," Irene cautioned, waving a finger at him, "is about as bad. I'm honestly not sure whether I'd sleep in a bit of canvas or share a hot tub with a stranger from the Midwest."

She was finding she much preferred the coasts thus far, yes -- mostly because she was blaming the Midwest as a whole for this tent situation.

"Hot tubs mean electricity," Hardison pointed out. "As in, the mark of civilization we're currently lacking."

There was something wrong with any vacation that deliberately went somewhere that electricity wasn't.

"...there's no electricity at all?" Irene somehow hadn't realized this. "But...but where will we charge our phones? What if something should happen?"

Nothing here, of course, but if something interesting happened elsewhere in the world, she did want to know immediately, damn it.

"Don't worry, I'mma fix that tomorrow," Hardison assured her. "An' Kitty said somethin' about emergency chargers or whatever. But, like, as soon as there's enough light to see by, I'mma take care of our electricity problem."

Well, as soon as he was awake with enough light. He wasn't going to wake up at dawn or something ridiculous like that.

"Like I told my boy, Eliot. I'm roughing it, not abandonin' all of civilization."
