#TentLife is Back!

May 15, 2016 by Alan 2 Comments

Although Augie and I hoped to camp out each Friday through winter…circumstances when it first became really chilly (below low 30s) meant we didn’t (e.g. Augie got a bad cold if I remember correctly).

However, I am proud to announce that we did start it back up for 2016 last night!:

And, it appears we were enjoying it: 🙂

I think the low overnight was just 41…so we were toasty in our sleeping bags. I also believe it rained a tiny bit…but our Coleman Instant Tent kept us dry!

Finally, if you are interested…here are some highlights of my shortwave listening in the tent. It was a great night for shortwave radio…with some very far away and some first time finds (and a combination of both!)

‘Ties the season again to spend time in the tent each weekend…and to fire up the shortwave radio! pic.twitter.com/oKxesPXlXa
