Camping: New Tent!

I'm really excited! I've got a camping trip planned with the dudes this weekend and I'm going to break out my new tent!

I have been wanting a good cold-weather 4-man tent. Normally, you can get a good one but in a smaller size. This one sleeps 4 (but it'll be just me in there, thank you very much!) and it's large enough that I can stand around and not touch the ceiling (it's 5'10" at the top).

Notice how low the rain fly drops - it goes almost to the ground. That's important for sealing the tent, and also preserving it during heavy winds.

The one I purchased is a Eureka Apollo 4. I bought it from CampMor. It's a great store located in New Jersey - if you're ever looking for good deals, they usually have some excellent prices. They also have a variety of camping supplies for whatever you're looking for.

So our camping trip is to Arrowhead State Park in Oklahoma. As of today, it's going to be one chilly trip. The low Friday night will be 28 degrees, and Saturday night it will be 33. Saturday day gets up to 51. And, even better, this is a fishing trip so we'll be out on the lake!

I can hear your eyes rolling in the back of your head...

So we're not expecting a lot of campers this weekend, which is fine by us. We're bringing a boat and a trailer filled with firewood. At least our fronts should be warm!

Overall, I'm just looking forward to getting away... check back next week and I'll give the review on how the tent actually fared in these conditions!
