Rain stay away from my camping trip
09/28/08
We headed up to a campground about 45 minutes from home. It was a warm sunny day. Our troubles began when we all tried to put up the new tent. My husband was crabby and frustrated and the hot sun was beating down on us, making it difficult to get the darn thing up quickly. Once we did get it up, it looked like nice roomy family tent.

I switched on the flashlight to where else it was dripping, the whole tent seemed to be leaking. Everyone's sleeping bag and pillow was damp or soaking wet. I couldn't sleep the rest of the night.
It took us several days to get everything washed and put away. After everything dries apply seam sealer and also spray the tent with silicone spray to help it repel water. Eureaka! Seam sealer! We should have done that the first time. We should have been better prepared for rain. Sometimes you learn the hard way!
