No, I was referencing Kevin's post about the hotel just up the road! The Holiday in was too rich for our blood!

Whats wrong with my tent? Other than I seem to have a Pollock Moment or two during set up?

its not made by GMC, so its safe.......

Let's see-

1) Sleeping on the ground in a tent with OE on a frosty spring night or
2) Sleeping in a hotel room with Steve who is known to sound like an 18 wheeler jake braking down a 7% grade when he snores.

Is there an option 3? Maybe the Days Inn wouldn't be too bad.

Ground? I have a nice blow up bed, for just such an occasion. Going to upgrade to a nice cot though for the future I think, just not sure when.

As far as frosty. My Sleeping bags are good down to ZERO, and have kept me toasty warm. Its only cold when you get OUT of them, and wonder why you did so after subconsciously diving back in while in shock.

I officially gave up tent camping while I was at Sterling. Kevin was there as well!

I jetisonned my waterlogged tent along with broken EZ Up in the trash bins and checked in to the Days Inn. It was just our style too!

Boats backed to the door, cords run through the window, BBQ between the rooms. We had a blast. We wouldn't have in the tents! I vowed that I would NEVER tent camp again!

Me and Jeff did the 2017 fall camp in a tent at Waffle Farms. Took a cot and cushions so the sleeping wasn't bad, the bad part was they put us under the nut laden walnut trees and we spent the week end dodging falling skull crackers. We did catch a lot of fish, though.

Last time I tent camped was with my son Chris at the 2014 spring camp. He had one of those blow up mattresses but it still didn't make it much more comfortable. I'm not saying I wouldn't do it again, just not fond of it. When we were building our cabin I actually slept next to the firepit in a sleeping bag on the ground under the canopy of the stars, the howling of the yotes off in the distance gave a bit of a eery feeling.

If we would like to discuss tent camping:
In the California desert with tarantula and rattle snakes, the desert in Almaria Spain with a weird Spanish Army, the swamps of North Carolina, the ground next to a Cocaine field in Columbia... I'm amazed I bought a tent after that.

No, I was NOT gaurding those fields in Columbia!
