Welcome to CampTN.com

This is Friday's weather scare.

Looking at camp site from bath house. Notice river going down center of road way. And yes I had 2 hatch doors open.



Part of the group hunkered down to ride out storm





One scared Lady from Murfreesboro!

Some hail collected on rug




Stew Cookin just b4 storm. Looked same after storm except tin was blown off and pot lid was full of water.



Didn't hurt the stew at all added biscuits all was fine

Looks good!! I'm glad everyone was ok that couldn't have been fun.. but the stew looked real good so after sitting in the bath house for an hour it became your reward!!!

It's all fun. New people, weather, food...... it's called campin. Or should it really be called turtlin since we carry these hard shells on our backs.

George...uh rainmaker - thanks for the pics.

That's the way George!!! Got to protect that iron. Did you sneak out to stir the pot while everyone else was hunkered down?

The Iron was left alone only about 15 minutes. Then the threat and the bad stuff was gone so we went back to site to survey the sityeeation. All was OK except the dumb hatch doors being open. Fortunately not too much rain got in.

I had to take a towel and soak up the water that had collected on the lid, and then was able to check the stew. Again all was OK. Yup stirred a bit and then went and got the biscuits (scratch not womp) to put on top.

Glad the stew made it. It would have been a travesty to sacrifice a piece of good cast iron to mother nature.

Well I can't put my flag at half mast
(it all ready is until all our boys are home from IRAQ)

But I sure would be in mourning if I had lost my pot. I tried to get my wife to go lay on top of it till the storm passed, but she would have nothin to do wit that idea. I was nervous.

You should be ashamed - she would have gotten burned.
