There I was holding on to the sunshelter for dear life. The wind had picked up and was gusting. My wife and I were trying to dismantle the sunshelter before one of us went airborne. A sudden intense squall line was moving across Lake Lanier on Friday evening about 21:00. I was on the cellphone (modern camping at its best) when I felt the wind freshening and looked across the lake to the northeast, there was a solid line of low black clouds. I said storm four times to my wife and started clearing up the campsite. Within 10 minutes we had gone from a relaxed but cool and slightly drizzly campout to a howling thunderstorm. Since we were in the middle of cooking dinner... Steaks Broccoli Potatoes and Roast corn , we secured everything and went in for dinner. With four adults and 5 kids we simply gathered around the tables and ate warm and dry inside as the weather howled outside. For its maiden campout with us the
casita kept us warm, dry and safe as the weather howled around us. Later on after the storm subsided we slept 4 with 2 head to toe on the smaller bed. An indoor bathroom while raining, a
microwave to finish the steaks as needed, a stove for the pressure cooker for the potatoes , no t.v. and quiet night's rest ...Yup its good. Everyone's safe except for my wife's twisted ankle and the next day the weather was whole lot better.
Now for the bonehead list
1) getting more water out of the blackwater tank than the grey (huhh??)
2) finding out after the dump that the sewer outlet swivels down !!!(dohh)
3)breaking the plastic freshwater drain handle (it was kinda soft)
4)Damp toilet paper
5)an unlevel
fridge
6)2 hrs packing and leaving (will cut it shorter next time)
One giant campers grin :lol
