Well, I shall pick up the tent from Jason before the 15th, surely. Would it be allowable and advisable if I were to drive up to Ventura on the evening of the 14th and crash at Mike’s place that night so we can ameliorate some of the cramped scheduling? (I have one of my licensure [...]

Picked up the vintage tent today. Will try to set it up and check it out this weekend. We’ll need to coordinate to get it to Troy’s for your pick-up on the 15th
