I’m at Heavy Seas drinking another raspberry sour. Two hours ago a county truck pulled up in front of my house and dropped off a backhoe because a sewer line two houses up from us collapsed. It’s the county line and not a residential connection. And to think I’ve been worried about rain water getting into my basement. Needless to say, I’m not going home for awhile. I’m running the beer gamut here this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 1 hour ago, 87storms said: i'll tell you what's unnatural...camping without an air mattress. that was unpleasant. might need to make a trip to REI. what's also unnatural is that we've had so much rain, but not much in the severe department. it's been very tropical remnants-like recently. i'm kinda done with this pattern. would definitely prefer a more natural summer pattern where it's generally partly to mostly sunny/warm during the day with popcorn storms in the afternoon. What kind of camping were you doing? I only use a sleeping bag and small air mattress when I'm backpacking which is not nearly as often as I'd like these days. But when car camping, we have an REI 4 man dome tent that sets up on a breeze and a cheap queen size Coleman air mattress from Target or Walmart that fits nicely with room to spare for our gym bag of clothes. We don't even use our sleeping bags but just a queen sheet set and a comforter. It's a great set up and easy. I even keep a plastic tub of the tent, air mattress, car plug-in inflator, clean sheets, and comforter all ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and I are done with that and we now enjoy a 38' Park model trailer that is planted in one spot with a deck. Set everything up in the trailer in the spring and we're good to go at a moments notice the rest of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still travel to a lot of different places, and though I've thought about getting a small trailer of some kind, the more axles that I have, the more nervous I get. Even trailering my little skiff down to my crabbing spot, I am always a little uneasy. Plus, I'd have to store it. But I totally agree with you that having something "permanent" in a go to spot is ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I totally agree with you that having something "permanent" in a go to spot is ideal. We used to have travel trailers. Was always a touch nervous hauling them myself. Then we broke down on the 81 bridge over the Susquehanna going into Harrisburg and that was pretty much the last straw. There was no room to fully pull off the road so we were sticking out about 3-4 feet into the right hand traffic lane. And if you have ever been on that road people are doing 65-75 mph despite the 55 mph speed limit. As they say it 'Scared me straight'. So after that we decided to get a park model and plant it for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
