Tent's up!

   So I got my Ozark Trail tent up with no problems.  It's even easier to set up than I first thought.  Now I can let it air out for a bit.  I know I'm probably talking a bit too much about my Ozark Trail tent,  Perhaps I'm a little bit like a kid at Christmas with a new gift.  Can't wait to try it out and tell everyone how much I like it.  But isn't it nice to be able to find things these days that you can't help but rave about instead of constantly wishing you had bought something else?   That doesn't happen to me often.  So hats off to the people who make Ozark Trail tents.  I'm definitely a fan. 
    Of course I'd like to see how my Ozark Trail tent holds up to rain, but so far it's been pretty dry.  I did hose it down with the water hose, and it held up fine to a steady blast of water aimed at it.  didn't blow over, and no leaks. Woohoo!
    Next I'll be getting my camp stoves out to clean them and make sure everything works.  Getting the tent and the stoves ready are pretty much the main tasks I do ahead of time.  Everything else I put together the day before I leave.   More about that later.
