Well, it wasn’t a complete trip but we gave it our best shot.
Arrived at Jester Park around 2pm Friday afternoon and quickly got to work setting up the site. Grills were out, table was set, tents were getting their last stakes in the ground.. then HELLO WIND! In a matter of minutes the weather went from calm and sunny to blistering wind and rain. Jillian was clutching Oscar as I did my best Superman impression in an attempt to keep the tent from picking us up and throwing us.
As fast as the storm came in, it left. Mother Nature decided to offer a concession via calm winds and some sunshine. This would last just long enough for us to enjoy the prime rib Dale brought for dinner, then HELLO WIND AGAIN! This time it persisted, but we made the best of it as we sat by the fire and made smores.
Nighttime was quite the adventure. The tent bowed and dipped like crazy, bending and ripping the stakes from the ground. Multiple attempts were made to secure the tent and neither of us got any real sleep.
After a great breakfast of bacon, eggs, and hash browns, we collectively decided not to brave another night like that. We packed up and ended the trip a day early.
