practice camping - Saturday, August 21



This is the set up for the tent/SUV. Cozy. Dave made rice and peas and hot tea for lunch. YUMMY! I think we are ready for the trip! We have a homemade car top carrier made by one of our carpenter friends Edd. He did a wonderful job. The rain didn't deter us!
Paul G. - note the Shelter Insurance mug Dave is using.

tent


Getting ready for our trip. Here is our tent and tent attached to the car. It attaches nicely and will keep the squitos out at night. We will "practice" camping in a few days. Doesn't this look fun!
