Moonshine Creek 2



We had the most awesome time! Went on 2 strenuous hikes. Had a great campfire and made smores.

The weather cooperated, as it only got down to around 50 degrees. I had my mattress pad set really low, like on 2 and I was too hot. Kept a window crack and the roof vent open, turned off the fan in the middle of the night.

Not sure I like the heated mattress pad. Think I'd rather have some kind of space heater that I can hang somewhere inside the trailer.

We only had a short list of items I need to get for my next trip - need some kind of carpet or pad for under the canopy - our site was alittle muddy. Need some tongs and a poker for the camp fire. Need a bigger storage box for my platform. The plastic one I got was ok, but alittle shallow.

The Paha Que 12x12 canopy was a real winner. It's enormous, stable and relatively easy to set up.

Items I brought, but didn't use - microwave and aluminum camp table. My coleman LED lantern blew a bulb on the very first use!

I have pics I'll post in a few days.

Next trip is planned to Linville Falls the weekend of Oct 14. Should be peak leaf season. Going up to Grandfather mountain.

Here are some pics from the trip
