[at-l] Ground Sheet Under Tent

[hikingvagabond at cox.net (Ozzie)]

Well, I guess I am making an assumption that it would be more convenient 
inside the tent as I have never tried it, and believe me assumptions have 
made for a great deal of excitement in my life at times. Positioning the 
ground sheet, especially in a strong wind, is sometimes a problem. It just 
seemed that tossing it inside would be easier.  Ozzie
