[at-l] Weekend hike & tent poles

[DanandGailSC at aol.com (DanandGailSC@aol.com)]

So who went hiking this weekend? :-) Seems like too
many of you watched political shows...

Last Saturday Gutsy and I hiked Table Rock Mountain in NW SC.  That's the 
third time in eight days.  It's only five miles from home, and we consider it our 
playground.  It's about 7 miles round trip with about 2000 feet elevation 
gain.  The weather was gorgeous--near 60 degrees and clear.  I wore my running 
singlet going up.

I need advice on how to replace a shock-corded tent pole for our Eureka 
Rising Sun two-person tent.  We lost one of the three poles.  Is there a source for 
replacement poles?  Have any of you used a kit for making replacement poles?  
This is one our favorite tents, but it's unusable now.
