The author describes preparations for a car camping trip to Kanazawa, including using cardboard cut to window size to block light and purchasing a 12V cooler box that can cool to minus 5 degrees Celsius. The trip began on Friday night after work; the first night was spent at a service area in Toyama, where truck idling noise was a minor disturbance. In the morning, the author continued the journey, noting that Kanazawa was about an hour's drive away.
