Story

We camped at Kokee State Park for two nights. The first night it rained a ton. When we got back to camp the second day, we found that our tent had blown about 100 feet across the meadow. I guess that's what happens when you don't stake down the tent and the only thing inside is sleeping bags. The second evening was also rainy and cold, but it dried up by morning. Long before the sun came up, we were aroused from our sleep by a rooster who was so loud he had to have been just a couple feet from our tent.
