This post is by Beth, a lady obviously willing to give camping a good try no matter what! “DH and I were anxious to go camping again,” Beth writes. “We got back on a Sunday night, and by Monday, we had booked something for the next Thursday, just 4 days away. This time the weather would be sunny (we hoped) and we picked a campground close by.”

I’ll leave most of what Beth has to say for you to discover, but I just have to include this, the most realistic description of a six-man tent I’ve ever read: “We all sleep in a ‘6-man’ tent. When they say ‘6-man’, what they mean is that if you put 6 adults in the tent, and you don’t mind touching someone on all sides, and maybe having your feet in someone’s face, and someone else’s who-knows-what in your face, then you will fit.” Too true!
