This is my third year in a row at Osh and the second time I've had a
department store tent fail me. Never again.


I went to sleep with the lightning flashing and thunder crashing on Monday
night. There were (maybe) 10 drops of water inside the tent. I had spent
half a day with the tube of seam-sealer before leaving home, time well
spent.



1994 Dodge Grand Caravan. Foam padding strip in the window where the camping
extension cord enters - to connect to the power strip :-)

I put a board across the two front seat armrests. Mmm ...12" fan all night.
Dry all week too!

I was 2 miles south of the Ultralights on Old Knapp Rd. In the morning I
would swing by the ultralights for some 7 am viewing, then drive around to
the N40 for breakfast. Plenty of free parking up by the Super 8, Hilton,
Penny's, Friar Tuck's - but not in their lots!!

At night I'd hop in the minivan, get on 41, head south of the museum one
exit to N/26, go east 1/2 mile, then turn south one mile. Circle R
Campground. Nice, but they do need more than 3 showers!!!
