What's this?

Oh, that park, I'm with ya, I'll always call it that...

just like I call the Cabin John bridge the CJB not the American Legion bridge.

Hitch-hiked from VT in my brave young days, camped out in my little two man tent (can't think of the brand but they were a steal at the time) big storm - I mean a big storm hit that night I had no problems snug as a bug in a rug, but got up the next morning, ran into the park ranger picking up all the other destroyed tents namely Coleman tents at the time which were basically like lawn chairs (they've long since started making serious tents) He gave me a "Yep, happens every time"

So yeah, very peaceful considering - been a while though - just drive into VB and a warning to be prepared for some helacious T-storms at the right times of the year.
