My last short trip away was 'the...

Beautiful this morning here. So glad I decided to hold up here for this week. A beautiful little town. The CP is clean and friendly. $25pn, and the owners are more than happy to assist with anything one may need, stay for 7 and pay for 6 deal also. They have been generous enough to open the rec room for me so I...

I'm having a hard time deciding what tent to buy and realised one of my preferred options may be too difficult to erect by myself.
