Houston...We have Rain

Krissel... Did it work? If so... Jennie put me next in line please... wink.gif

Bill... let me tell ya a little story about rain, camping and me...

We went to the Okanagan in B.C. one fine "hot, hot, hot" longweek... decided to set up camp in Vernon (nicest lake with no weeds)... pitched the tent... that night it decides to do something it never does in the summer in the Okanagan... rain!!

That's when we found out that a tiny little rut that one wouldn't even notice running right under the tent had the capability of turning into a raging river! Woke up soaked to the bone... spent about two hours in the laundromat looking like one of the black clouds outside, speaking "nasty" words... drying out sleeping bags, pillows etc.

I was NOT a happy camper...  wallbash.gif

Not going to tell the story about a friend of my dads who put rope around my sleeping bag to keep the snakes off once when we were camping many years ago.
Nope. Not going to tell that story. biggrin.gif
