We spent the past 4 days creating our campsite. We planned everything meticulously. Even though our decisions were made methodically, there were a few conditions that we weren’t aware of until we found ourselves in the middle of them.
We carefully planned to pitch our tent in the most perfect place, away from rising ocean water. We made sure it was not facing the rising sun, so it wouldn’t be to hot first thing in the morning. We also made sure that our location wasn’t in an indentation, so our tent wouldn’t collect water. We even took care to brush away all sticks and rocks and lie down a blanket underneath our tent. What we didn’t notice is that we were not protected from the occasional gusty winds, until the wind was blowing so hard, we nearly took off in flight like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. We had to abandon our home and break tent in the middle of the night.
Come morning, we had such a laugh at how we were both trying to be so cool last night and ignore that the winds were unbearable. We wondered what surprises that would come with where we chose to build the restroom.
