Quick Overnight

So the weather gods and timing all finally aligned last night and I got out for a quick sub 24 hour overnight (S24O).  I got to test out the newest incarnation for my gear setup, which is a work in progress.  Though after last night, I can say it is pretty close to being finalized….
