1. My sister's friend aparently liked the Covered Wagon! Mama, my sister and the friend went to the campground to set it up and then joined me at a restaurant for dinner. Tug had a date with his crate and a long snooze. Like us she was impressed with how big it is and how easy it is to put it up (now that my sister and Mama have worked out the bugs it takes just minutes). My sister even backed it into the spot on the first try! :) When researching the C.W. my sister came across people on the web who stated to be prepared for visitors. When people see it going up they come over to get the "low down" on the different design. Yup, it happened. Also, a park ranger saw them entering and told them he wanted to come by later and see it.

2. Last weekend (the first weekend of December) my sister went back to that campground near her house. She's apparently a semi-celebrity with the rangers since she was doing back-to-back visits for 1 night. Her friend brought her husband this last weekend and they had their tent in a nearby spot. Lots of visitors again and some were referred by the rangers! LOL

3. This weekend is camping on the Atlantic coast near old St. Augustine in Anastasia. We're doing a three day weekend (all 4 of us- don't forget Tug!). It's supposed to be in the low 50s at night so this will probably be the test run of our little space heater. Hope we don't get a toasted Terrier- there's very little floor room with the dinette made into Mama's bunk and his crate goes into that spot. We'll have to figure out how to do this...heck,we're 3 smart women!
