I finally decided lets try the other tent at a spot with firmer ground. With both of us being familiar with that tent it went up rather quickly. Its lower profile definately helped. We ended up using all the tent stakes from both tents to hold this one down. We all stayed inside that tent Friday nite and it was kind of fun having the kids and us in the same tent for just that nite. ![Grin :D :D](/community/smilies/biggrin.gif)
The next day the kids were off to Dorney Park here in Pa and the rest of the weekend was free for Vicki and I. Neither one of us was happy that we didnt set up the new tent so out it came again.
We looked it over alot better since we had more daylight this time around. I didnt like this set up as much as our other one cause it has 3 main supports as compared to 5 for our old one. Wind gusts on Saturday had calmed down to 20 -25 mph. We talked to some other tenters there and thought we were going to end up using "guy ropes" but since the wind was a little calmer we didnt have to. We lucked out and the camp store had some longer stakes for us. At 68 cents a piece I was ready to wipe them out of supply but managed to leve 8 for the next guy.
We finally got the new tent squared away Saturday evening around 4:30.
Vicki and I have upgraded just about everything since we started tenting. The cooler , chairs , utensils , air mattresses have all been upgraded.

We even went as far this year as grabbing tent floor , and of course now some better tent spikes.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
