[Fourlanders] Contesting Shelter

[Brian McCarthy]

I find the tent interesting, but I do not think it is where I want to 
operate from. We always seem to have trouble seeing the screens of our 
logging computers from inside a green tent. With an all white tent the 
situation is even more difficult. I would not want to operate from a 
tent like that during a storm like we had on Glassy Mountain!

I believe having one for eating and meeting might be very useful. I 
would be willing to donate to buy one for the club.

For my own reasons I am still on the lookout for a trailer similar to or 
even a bit larger than Robin's. That why I bought the large diesel pickup!

Cheers,
Brian
