Ive been packing today to go camping. We're just doing the state park campground thing this weekend. I think we picked the hottest weekend for it too. It was already 95 at 9:00 am when I was loading up. Hope you guys have a nice , fun weekend and yall be safe. My daughter snapped this pick, kinda funny. Damn its hot !

Have a safe & enjoyable weekend & don't over heat. It might get to a high of the mid 70's here this weekend.
high of 101 today with heat index of 115
On the east coast that sucks, at least when its hot here its a dry heat. I just hope we get some highs that might break 80 some time this summer. its been the 60's for the few weeks with maybe 2 days in the last 2 months that hit the 70's
90 for my morning run at 5:30 it sucks here. We are going to skip the camping and sit in lawn chairs in the river. Have fun man, and that rack is a hell of a lot stronger than I thought they were. Thats cool
Well he only looks like he weighs..what 90lbs soaking wet?
haha Have fun bro.
Haha thats awesome^^ he does have action packers or whatever they are called up there too.Quote:

It was very hot on Friday, about 103. We got settled in at about 4:00 and decided to hit the lake and cool off. Forget that. The water was so hot , seemed hotter than air temp. LOL It cooled down overnight and we got in some swimming Saturday morning thru till about 2:00. Sleeping was better sat night, quite pleasant actually. Other than that we didnt really do much, ran into town for ice cream Saturday evening.

Dude that looks like a blast! Can't wait till I get to start camping again!!
Neil, did you pick up an ez up awning? I camped this weekend, post my tales of woe later.
Looks like a lot of fun! What size tent is that?
Looks like fun bro
I did. After my crappy one collapsed at Flagpole, I told my wife I wanted an EZ-UP like Sal has so we got one at Christmas. Its awesome too. I will have it at Flagpole next month.Quote:

I have 4 tents, a 1 person backpacking tent, a 2 man pup tent, a 4 person dome, and then this new family size. One for every occasion. :)
We just added a two man pup tent to the inventory. My big tent is starting to show it's use the zipper on the door gave us some trouble this weekend. :( On a good side I also picked up a twin air mattress that fits real nice in the back of the jeep were I do most my sleeping.Quote:

We are taking two of those Ez Up tent to the Obx next week. My brother thinks one is enough but twice the shade is always a good thing. haha
Sal, You can get an easyup canopy and put the side curtains on it, a double wide or queen size cot and you'll stylin'!! Get a little stove, some carpets.....kids in the pup tent....you and Mrs Sal will be, well thats none of our business.......Quote:

My wife now says she wants to buy a Pop-Up. I don't have a problem with them other than I don't consider that camping. What to do, what to do. My buddy tried towing a utility trailer once up the beach to carry all the stuff, didn't do too well. :)
Quote of the century right there. lolQuote:
