You've got the tent all set up, camp kitchen just the way you like it, and all of a sudden it clouds up and starts raining. Do you just wait it out and hope for decent weather, or pack it all up and head home?

We've been R.V. camping and had a snow storm roll in during the night. It never bothered us, we just kicked the furnace up, made a pot of tea, and snuggled down with a good book.

That's not really my dream camping trip.......at all!!!
i'm a weenie in bad weather. i'd be looking for more sturdy shelter than a tent. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to get that way too. Which is why I LOVE our 5th wheel. If we are headed out camping and the weather looks the least bit snotty, I want to take the trailer!!
ReplyDeleteI'd much rather have an RV but don't drive em do I'm still tenting it. Looking forward to it this summer...if we ever get any summer in MN. this year! ha!
ReplyDeleteWe've been through many storms, some very bad and deadly. But to answer that question, we put tarps end to end, covering most the site, high enough to keep the fire going, and we have cribbage and card tournaments. We invite any of the other campers who want a day of rain fun and have a blast sharing fun, food and company. We've even thrown a buck in a kitty and have a winners circle, winner, looser and wisher! Fun stuff! Isn't that what all die-hard campers do?

Those camping trips are what makes good memories. That's why I still like tent camping. When I'm snuggling down in my sleeping bag at night, I can almost see and hear my folks when we were kids out camping.
ReplyDeleteBoth my folks are gone, so it really makes for a nice memory
Have a wonderful day everyone!!
