I'm gonna bring a couple of extra tarps including my big 13'x13' nylon.

I looked at the Weather Channel's website, according to it Friday's high is supposed to be around 75, low of 60 with isolated thunderstorms. Saturday is supposed to have a high of 72, low of 43, with thundershowers. Sunday the high is supposed to be 57 with a few showers. I think I can live with that!

I live in the middle of a city (literally sky scrapers around me) with no place to set it up for the time it takes to dry a bit, and so it is difficult.

I had to set mine up in the living room with 550 cord, velcro and trekking poles with a fan blowing on it. Not exactly optimum conditions, but it'll do in a pinch. "Improvise, overcome, adapt." GYSGT Thomas Highway, Heartbreak Ridge

Take it to the park on a sunny day with limited breezes.

I have a studio. It was very difficult making the thing with no room. I will probably set it up tied to the security gate outside my place.

If you fold it right, you can probably hang it over your shower curtain rod. Just have to do one side of the seam at a time and make sure to turn on the fartsucker

they can tell you the real story at hot springs<g>. ...tim

It was a Bear, I tell you, a big, hulking, grizzly looking Bear. Right there on the Appalachian Trail (between the Smoky Mtn Diner and Paddler's Pub). Ask any non-hiker and they'll tell you that kind of stuff happens ALL the time. Good thing I had Ed's axe with me at the time. As any non-hiker will tell you: you should never go camping without a big honking axe.

That's my story and I'm stickin' with it
