Tenting

I’m very proud of the camping skills I’ve developed over the years. Dad and I have a bunch of routines that help us efficiently set up and pack up our campsites. I help with those tasks every step of the way, but I’m also flexible. Dad has a slightly different procedure for setting up a tent in a high wind (lots of that in the Southwest). He gave me praise for following his instructions perfectly.

Speaking of tents, ours is being held together with duct tape at this point. It’s probably our last season with this one. My long time readers may recall that our last tent gave out on the road during the summer of 2016, so we purchased the one we have now in Utah. Most tents last around ten years with moderate to heavy use, so do the math. Dad is hoping to “muddle through” (his words) with this one for the remainder of the season. We’ll see…
