Gecko Grotto on the road....

Postby sid » Tue Jun 20, 2006 2:42 pm

It is with great pleasure we announce the maiden voyage and first campout of the Gecko Grotto.... Although it was only around the neighborhood..... and the camping was in the back yard..... damn it felt goooooood! I might add, it rained cats and dogs that night... no leaks! A few minor details left such as curtains, but who's sweating the small stuff.

It was started on Thanksgiving and slept in on Fathers Day. This coming weekend we will make the first adventure with it to the lake, with kayaks!

Side got us the awning for Fathers Day. She's the greatest!

Thanks to everyone for all the wisdom. :applause: You have been a great help.

:cheerswine:

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.
