I'm so happy I found these forums! My little boy (just-turned-12 and not so little anymore, wah!) and I used to go camping a lot, but it's so hard doing all that by myself. Plus, last time we went (several years ago) some huge storm rolled in and we had to evacuate the campground. Taking down a big ole' tent by my 5' self, in the dark, in the pouring rain, was about as much fun as a root canal with no novocaine. We haven't been since.
But he is old enough (and tall enough!) to really be a big help now, and the weather has been SO nice, we're going to head up to Double Lake next weekend. I love that place, and can't wait to camp there again.
Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself real quick and say hi, and I'm looking forward to chatting with y'all!
