Rough start

Our tenting group's first weekend in K-Ville was about as smooth as the FSU game (too soon?). On Friday, our first night, I felt the full effects of sleeping amongst an eleven-person mass inside our six-person tent. One of the member's of the group then failed to show for tent check the following evening, meaning we could not miss another for the next few weeks. Naturally, we missed the very next tent check as well, pushing our group into the waiting list. Oh, and I managed to catch a fever too.

People talk about the difficulty in managing everyone's schedules for tenting,

but nothing prepares you for it until you actually go through several increasingly frustrating hours of discussion.

By the end, individual happiness has less value than that one section of plywood not yet damp with mildew; you just want to curl up in your real bed and forget about all the problems.

But with a new week comes hope, and we are starting up again at #66. Do we make it this time? Stay tuned.
