We are kind of geeky and very avid winter campers. It's not at all uncommon to plan to take any new piece of gear out on a familiar trip to test it. Usually we don't go more than two or three hours from home for such a test. Other like-minded people would understand this behavior except not on Sunday night before starting a new job.
If there was a fight, it even might make sense to take the kids and leave the house to avoid escalation. SP's dad's comments about her possibly being alive don't seem to fit with a lot of the speculation on this thread, and make me wonder all the more what they know that we don't.
