Darien Lake Bust

Our plans for a fun-filled three night camping trip over Labor Day weekend to Darien Lake were cut very short by a weakening, but still strong enough to ruin a weekend Hurricane named Ernesto. He made his way up the coast into PA and NY sometime Saturday morning. We woke up in our tent (on a comfy air mattress) to the sounds of rain pelting tent canvas and wind flapping the protective tarp. This continued all day and sent us headed for home two days early.

However, the trip wasn't a total loss. Jeff got to shop at Guitar Center in Buffalo and purchased a new electric guitar. This was his bargaining chip when installing our new kitchen. Maybe I should have waited until he was completely finished before letting him buy the guitar?

You talked of winds,rain, and forces of mother nature,but left out a huge force in male nature.
You forgot to mention the annoying drunk in your group. That would make for lively reading!
