I had always been a Luddite re: color of tents until this last season, when I acquired a light gray tarp to replace the forest green one I had used for a couple years -- man! what a difference in light underneath the gray tarp. On those days when tarp/tent-bound, it sure is nice to have something which lets in some light. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Oct 25 2000 - 23:08:01 PDT
