We were going for a 3 day weekend this Thursday, but decided to cancel and wait till next week. Local weather is calling for rain starting Thurs afternoon and on and off showers right through the weekend.

We only have a small 17ft TT , and it gets cramped very quickly when we're stuck inside for 2-3 days lol.

Rain???...what's rain???.....sorry, I live in SW colorado now and can not remember what rain is!!

Believe me they are clueless in the Mid-West also.

Clueless in the deep south, too.

Unless the terms "tornado", "hurricane", "high winds", "hail", "flooding", "eruption", "earthquake", "fire and brimstone" or "cats and dogs living together" are in the forecast - we go!

We don't go up if it's suppose to be freezing day and night as the trailer will freeze up. Otherwise the hitch itch wins out against the cabin fever every time. At least it's a different view than we have at home.

We take rain gear and weather proof cameras and go for walks, sit under the awning, play games, read, watch DVDs, go looking for new spots and might even break in the new mattress a bit. ;)

If it's 80% we cancel. 30% or less we go.

So what do you do if it's between 30% and 80% :h

Sure. There always has to be one person using logic.:B

We never cancel because of rain. Many great trips over 20 years and yes it rained on us plenty of times.

Pogoil.

Maybe I should explain that rain usually will not totally stop us from going, but when the forecast is calling for rain the whole weekend, than we think twice about it. When we had a MH we didn't mind going, but having a TT now and getting older with health issues, I guess we have kind of turned into fair weather campers lol.

It sucks setting up and tearing down in the pouring rain, been there/ done that way to many times to mention lol. You can just call me a camping ***** lol.

Here in the upper midwest we seem to be in a rainy pattern right now. Monday we arrived for a rally. Monday night it started raining. It is continuing to rain, then drizzle, then rain, etc.. Some of the farmers are not able to get into their fields for plant yet.

We also all ways go and all ways find something to do;)
