What I learned this trip.....
Trailer insurance is wonderful peace of mine when you stare at a 3-7 ton tree trunk and listen to the tv squaking about large hail damaging winds and the possibility of tornados.
They make giant muffin papers called dutch oven liners. No more cutting parchment paper into circles to line the bottom and cutting long skinny strips for the side and trying to get them to stay in place.
They make 6' fiberglass survey stakes that will make wonderful hooped stays for a roof over your changing room ( just add a tarp). Pictures to follow they are in the 35mm.
Mud is therapeutic for feet. Softens and sands calluses corns and bunions. Leaving bare feet soft and supple after 4-5 hours of wadeing in 2 inches of mud huddled under a tarp is a torrential rain.
On board electronics can be a life saver. We massed in the green glow of my 5" 10 dollar Goodwill color tv and watched the wall of weather march our way.
How to properly stake down large shelter tents ( thanks Eric) so they don't sail off like a kite.
How to cinch down a first up over the galley area and attaching the other side to the 100# +/- wood picnic table to keep it from rolling it's self into a ball of ripped nylon and bent tubing. (We had a couple casualties like that)
Old people can stay up after 10:00 pm ( We partied our asses off till about 2:30 AM. (Celebrating life after the tsunami)
The one that DID break our hearts though. Kurt is not infalible.
Stiff and sore from packin' and un packin' but had a ball meeting old friends and makin new ones.
Thanks to all !!!!!
