had hoped to be going camping tonight --- darn plans changed 
Hope things straighten out soon
My wife runs a no-kill animal shelter. One of her volunteers (they all are volunteers, including my wife) who was taking care of one of our foster cats got sick. No one to back-fill....so my wife has to stay home. No fun going alone.
While we're at it, Mother nature is off her meds again --- 80 tomorrow, near freezing mid week :\ Scheesh!

46F and I’m living in a rain cloud. I can’t see the nearby tree line. With the warmer temperatures I’m thinking of driving up to Phillips and looking at outdoor furniture.
My ride to Washington to pick up my Camp-Inn wasn’t feeling well and scheduled a doctor’s appointment so my trip is delayed.

Considering winters reluctance to let go, it might not be a bad thing, and the heavy rains moving through your route of travel should help wash away more of the winters salt accumulation from the roads as well.

I was thinking the same thing.

I just spent the weekend 'out' in mine --- Saturday through yesterday. I had to go 'home' to help a family member with a health problem --- everything is at least back at baseline at the moment. They don't have any extra room, so its sofa-city, a hotel, or using the camper either at at a state park or moochdocking. Mostly dependent on sites being open at the park - the
The "Insult to injury" moment was after getting to the campground on Saturday last, it was either cold, rainy, windy, or occuplied by responsability. I left to come from at 5pm yesterday --- just as I backed the car up to hook up, the skies turned blue and the sun came out, and the wind subsided...LOL....
As of yesterday, I'm at 24 nights so far since we got ours in November....still not 1 good weekend. No problem there's next weekend, where we had a "guys" weekend planned....it is supposed to rain all weekend :\
I can't seem to catch a lucky break!!!! But...I got my columbian (Pot of Coffee! Not just pot
) and the sky is blue today...life is good.

I have a Dads+Kids weekend planned for Mothers day (a mother's day present where I go camping? Sure!), so I'm counting on you to soak up all the bad weather for me Sweeny.

Weather is just part of the experience - but that doesn't necessarily make it fun
I really wish Pahaque would not have turned its back on general use tents and focused exclusivly on the small towables. I can't call what they sell teardrops, the Pahaque cottonwood was a simple dome that worked for many -- but especially well for teardrops (real ones) like CI. My cottonwood stood up to years of use...hard use with rain, wind, and even some snow. Sidewalls blocked wind and misty rain, but alas...no more.
On a positive note, yesterday was sunny with blue skies --- got my grass cut,

We're heading Friday at lunch. This is sort of a work trip, but we'll be camping in a state park. I help put on a charity bicycle ride in the mountains of SC and Saturday is the ride. Long day for me, she'll be hanging out at the camper. The park is closer to the ride than my house is why we do it this way.
