There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard. No song that I could sing. But I can try for your heart Our dreams, and they are made out of real things Like a, shoebox of photographs With sepiatone loving Love is the answer
A little feeling in my gut that I get of late when I think about these cats running the world with hate

last year a friend slept in a foldable chair the whole time. I was in a tent and it did get hot when the sun came up. It was like a alarm clock reminding u that you are at Roo and to enjoy every minute. Expect the unexpected! I went to Langerado very spur of the moment and it happen to be the only nite in history where it got 40 degrees in the Fl. everglades. We had "nothing" but cash. It was very cold. But very fun!!!
I have both a hammock and a couple cots. Hammock's more comfy but a cot is way easier to deal with (ie, set up and transport and will fit in a bigger tent if need be). A folding hammock is a lot like a cot just not as firm.
My daughter slept outside every night in the back of my 4 Runner and did not come in to the RV until around 7:30 AM for something to drink, bathroom, and a short nap until it was time for breakfast and head for the shows.
The groups next to us on both sides slept outside one group on cots and the other in tents. Both groups did have a camper or RV in addition to their outside sleeping arrangement.
Now we had the battery fans and a box fan, but the dust was more of a problem than the heat and things would have worked a lot different if there had been rain. Tennessee is known for it's cooler nights. I like my AC in the RV, but if I were younger the tents with shade tarps with lots of batteries for the fans plus some cots would work just fine. We are thinking about setting up some tents or at least a shade tarp over the awning - well.....at least on one side so that the AC water doesn't cut down on our space.
We were very close to the portable lights and they stay on all night so if you are outside that can be an issue. We felt safe and 75% of the time loved them, but when it is time to sleep they can be in your eyes.
The Coleman personal fans are the best addition to camping that I have seen - we have the ones that are magnetic and the ones that are not. I know that I am going to buy some more and they were wonderful when you wanted to sit down and pre-cool before hitting the AC in the RV which we ran the entire time.
Just remember that last year we had no rain in Tennessee and this is not normal so any plans need to think about what are your plans if we have heavy downpours. You have to be concerned on keeping as much as possible dry and up off the ground.
My daughter attracts all bugs and the love to bite her, but I don't remember her having any problems; however, she may have used something along with her sun screen. I didn't even see any ants and only a few flying stingy things. We had plenty of things to run the bugs away but the dust was the big issue and we did not really think about what it was doing to our lungs - we were close enough that it wasn't as bad as those that had to really walk and it wasn't bad enough all the time to feel like we needed to be doing something until Saturday night when we were trying to figure out why we were not feeling so good, etc. It wasn't until we started seeing people with their breathing space covered so that the air was filtered that the light bulb came on. Our black 4 Runner did not need to be washed before we headed out and the RV was not overly dusty like the other cars I saw on the road. My son had to stop and wash the car they were in before they got out of Coffee County due to it being so covered - which by the way made it almost impossible for them to locate. So I guess it is safe to say that different areas have different dust levels and what the dust last year caused lingered on for a very long time.
