[at-l] Off Trail Tent Question

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

NOOO!! this is for a car camping trip!  Even I'm not  insane enough to bring 
a big assed tent hiking. 
 
I've got four (maybe five) people coming with me next weekend for some  
camping and canoeing.  I've got a nice big spot reserved at Jonathon  Dickinson 
Park.  And the Boy DOES NOT camp, bless his heart.  He did  rent us a room at the 
new and luxurious Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino for  Valentines, though 
:)  I'm spending the day at the spa..... Get my tired  and icky camping 
piggies pampered.

So, "The Boy" is carrying that house out on the trail?  Perhaps you  could 
get it to where it is going to be set up by splitting the parts among  those who 
will be benefiting from its use.  One person take some poles,  another the 
canvas, another the rope or line, another the stakes, etc., and  voila! There it 
is!
 
If people don't bring their own equipment they don't deserve  shelter.  Of 
course, if you really want those people with you then your  intentions MAY get 
them out on the trail but I suspect that they will wimp out  on you and then 
you will only have an emergency shelter for when the next  hurricane comes 
roaring through Florida.
