"Hey", everyone. I've reduced my participation to lurking for most of this year... work and family issues have totally taken over my free-time, with no end in sight. My boat hasn't even touched water this year. :-( Anyway, my girls are now both teenagers, and the things that didn't used to be an issue for them are becoming issues. Mainly, creature comforts while camping. Camping out of kayaks or canoes has become out of the question (according to them). They are still interested in car camping, but they want me to try to do something about the sun, rain and bugs. I wish I had that sort of power, but the best I can do is buy a canopy/shelter/gazebo type of thing with no-see-um mesh and removable sides for rain protection. It needs to be big enough to get a picnic table under. I've never even been under one, much less own one. To that end, before I start my research... actually, I suppose this "is" starting my research .... can anyone comment on the good vs.. the bad, features, brands, etc. Any and all info is much appreciated.
