Garner State Park - HAIL STORM

A few weeks ago I was at Garner State Park enjoying myself. Late one evening just before I slipped in a DVD of "Lost", the second season, a park ranger knocked on my Travel Trailer door and said, "In about 20 minutes we are going to have storm that will include locally damaging winds up to 70 mph and a possibility of large hail."

So, what do you do? I punch play on the DVD player and watched the first episode. When the storm hit we started the seconded episode of "Lost". Ping, bam, ping, ping, bam. Soon we had a hole in the sky light over our bed. We put a plastic tub on the bed to catch the rain water and started episode three of "Lost". I slept on the couch and my wife slept on the dinette. (which makes into a bed.)

The next morning I went to the camp store, which has one of everything, and bought a roll of duct tape. Since I didn't have a ladder I did the repair from the inside.

What did I learn from this? Don't leave home without the duct tape.
