This has been a weird spring. Hot, cold, hot, cold and rain. Lots of rain.   Hopefully you'll get your first trip in a week or two.

Good Grief, Saturday afternoon and here comes another wave of rain. then Wx man said possible thunderstorms tonight, then a possibility of a frost Tuesday evening. I need to get my good old 17 foot Champion bass boat out, mount the pod on top of the boat then come rain or shine we will be going. this is crazy. May 11 and we have not had a weekend where the weather will allow even a 1 nighter, unless you want to set inside. I can do that at home. I betcha the weather will get nice just in time to go back to work on Monday. I am going to throw a fit and get some possum heads, chicken bones, eye of newt, bat wings, and anything else I can find and throw an evil spell on the weather in Southern Indiana. With my luck it will clear up just in time to get on the road and get into a tornado.

Possible frost here this week, too.  Figures, I just planted my sweet potatoes today.

Had our pod all tucked in to its special spot between our shed and a row of pine trees.  Then we covered it with the rPod cover.  Looked out on Sunday and the cover was on the ground!  Looks like we will have to bungee the cover on.  Here at the lake we can get pretty good wind.

No frost here. It's 86 today.

Paige - We tried the tarp - with little success and finally bought a fitted cover.

Rain or shine we are heading out tomorrow for a 1 or 2 nighter. 30% to 40% chance of rain Friday and Saturday, don't care. Our son is going to tent camp with us and is pulling the Champion bass boat. I have frog togs and clothes. we are going to camp and fish period. The pod has been setting since last October. Hell, its almost June and we have had weather that is CRAP CRAP CRAP. I don't care I am heading out.
