I am using the tent now and this was the first time I really needed it. I pitched-tent in the rain on a cliff overlooking Loch Ness. I had hoped to see a monster or two, but didn't see any.

I cooked in the tent. This was recent. I had a candle so I could see, and lit the stove in the tent and cooked in there - if as in this case it was raining. Just had to make sure the candle or the stove did not tip over. Probably did it any number of times and don't remember any particular problems, except that night in Germany. Maybe I could now read by candlelight, although I do not remember reading any books on this trip, but probably I certainly did. Of great help such particular remembrance would be but so it goes.

The next day I rode the whole length of the road, close along the loch, by the shore on the east side. I turned around and started back. The loch was twenty miles long and a mile to-two wide, and 20 miles southwest of Inverness. The opposite pastoral shore was green uprising, sometimes wooded and I don't remember any human habitational architecture, but I may be wrong. It was one beautiful place for sure. I stopped at a pier with a trailer parked perpendicular to the loch in a small parking lot adjoining the pier. There were cameras on the pier and nearby on the shore, on tall tripods, and mounted on car and truck tops up and down the Loch road. It was a University of Chicago study, looking for the Loch Ness monster.
