Glad to hear you are going.  Camping is camping, better than being at home and wishing you were camping.

whitestar505,
 Yeah, the canopy we got was on the expensive side, but my DH has to have the best! [&:]  You can get the Quik Shade Weekender 10 for around $90 at Walmart -- at least that is what I found on-line.  I think you can get some of the 10x10 ez-ups for around $100 too.
 
 We started with the CHEAP $15 dining canopies (that use poles and ropes to stay up) for several years during our tenting years, but they are impossible for one person to put up.  Then we got one of those backyard canopies that you have to put all the poles together ($30-$50).  Very functional, but took too long to set up.  Then we found the ez-up and having a shelter to stay dry under with a five minute set up time was priceless to us.  When that one got bent, we knew we d have to replace it.  
 
 It s pouring right now here near Philly.  Since we re not camping this weekend, the only thing this is doing for us is guaranteeing a muddy June Fete Carnival this weekend.  It s a HUGE affair put on by a local Hospital that we attend EVERY year.  It s the place to see and be seen! []  Unfortunately, it s held on a grassy area -- or should I say muddy area.  Better wear some boots and bring shoes to put on when we get back to the car. [:@]
 
 My DH is also planning on replacing some windows in our house this weekend.  I PRAY for your sake and ours that this rain STOPS soon!  We NEED new windows!

Tracy,
 
    Well, here it is Thursday and we have had four days of rain. Now the weather has changed again to cloudy most of today, sunny tomorrow,  rain on Sat and Sun.The temp at 2PM yesterday was 55 .  Can not see driving 1hour to sit in the rain. Soooooo... I guess we are changing our minds again. Happy Camping!

Boy, I know this will sound a little harsh, but it s for your own good.[]
 
 You are really a " fair weather camper"  you should sell your roof and tenting to someone who will use them.
 
 

Weather Channel says for Aberdeen.............
 Today
 Jun 05  Partly Cloudy 77ø/56ø (10 % chance)
 Fri
 Jun 06  Partly Cloudy 79ø/59ø (0 % chance)
 Sat
 Jun 07  Rain 67ø/64ø (40 % chance)
 Sun
 Jun 08  Isolated T-Storms 74ø/61ø (30 % chance)

 That s a pretty reasonable forcast to me?
 IMO friday.... looks great.
       saturday........ also good , but might have a little shower- big deal
       sunday.........   Ok so there is a 30% chance, geeze live dangerously?  
 
 There is always a chance of rain, You ll never go if you wait for (0% chance for three straight days. I never study the forecasts all week, your driving yourself nuts.
 
 Just plan to go, pack your stuff and as long as there is no tornado or hurricane on your tail, JUST GO!!  Geeze!? Quit listening to the forcasts all week!
 
 OK, I have that off my chest, Understand I have a lot of built-up camping preasure, cause I haven t been able to go yet.
 Not because of weather though, it s been work and family stuff?[:@]

I just got back from Minnesota, Had really good weather. 65/70 daytime and one night it got down to 38. But we were deep in a valley, where it tends to cool off rather nicely. Had no mosquitoes, but did find a couple ticks.

" " BALTIMORE -- Remember the song, " Blame It On The Rain?"  Some doctors blame the rain for health symptoms such as weight gain, depression and fights.  
 
 Since the beginning of May, the Baltimore metropolitan area has only had two sunny days. So how can you cheer up until the sun comes back?  
 
 Rainy Weather Has Some Blue    
 
 WBAL-TV 11 NEWS reporter Jennifer Franciotti reported that if you re like most people, you ve had it with the rain!
 
 
 When asked what he feels like doing when it rains, Charlie Shettle said: " sleep, watch TV and eat."  
 
 Michelle Madison said it makes her " grouchy -- I want to stay inside all the time, I didn t want to go out today, but I had to."  
 
 " It s just depressing. You wake up everyday and it s raining. When it s sunny people are in a better mood,"  Eric Battle said.
 
 Brenda Hannon, a clinical counselor at Mercy Medical Center, said the gloomy weather makes depression worse for people already battling depression and it s physically draining on others as well.
 
 " We need sunshine to lift our spirit,"  Hannon said. " People will tend to sleep more because your body is weary."  
 
 Hannon said there are ways to fight back to keep the rain from dampening your mood. Among them include avoiding alcohol because it s a depressant and could make you feel worse. Also, stay connected to others, reach out socially -- and dress in bright colors. Hannon said it s important now more than ever to stay healthy.
 
 " We have to be more intentional about exercise and eating properly,"  Hannon said.
 
 And laugh. Experts said when it comes to rainy weather, laughter really is the best medicine. Humor boosts endorphins, thus lifting your spirits. So try telling a good joke or renting a funny movie until the sun shines again, Franciotti said. " "
 
 
 Do you all remember the thread this past winter called SAD?

Ok, You forced me to do it!
 and remember it s for your own good.[]
 Is it better to sit home, and cry about the chance of rain?
 
 
 Everyone, Go to the Poll section and vote.
 
 And anyone that votes " cancel" , I ll say it now.......ahhh nothing!

Kelly, Not much sneakin  when you re pullin  with a diesel.[] You are all way up North, we were in the more tropical part, (southeast corner). But we did spend a night at Kilen State Park (nice) northeast of Worthington. Then on to Houston MN. Spent 5 days at my brothers farm, We were camped out in the middle of the woods. Totally alone, quiet and it was great! Coyote s crying at night, and wild turkeys in the daytime.
