Creation Fest 1 Living In A Caravan

We arrive to inspect our home for the next week. How does it work, honey?

Our friends the Kottmans stayed in a tent. We were glad we had steel walls for this dark and stormy night. Katie, left, dances with Karissa and Bethany.

Inside it was a tight fit, but we could make good use of the space for hanging out at lunchtime.

When the weather was good, it was VERY good. And when it was bad...

Last year at this seven-day Christian music and teaching event we stayed at a bed & breakfast. The good points were breakfast and a place to sleep. However, it was a ways off site, the room was small, and the price was going up next year. “We can do better than this,” we thought.

So we heard about friends renting a caravan for the Fest, and we decided to do it as well. The owners towed it to the camping site at the Fest and all we had to do is show up, which we did last Friday. Now we were on site, we could go there for lunch or when we needed a break. It was better than a tent when the wind was blowing and the rain pelting hard.

We spent the rest of the time learning how to sleep in the thing, and how to cook in it, how to put all our things away somewhere organized. By the time we had learned some of these things we were done for the year.

So we actually signed up to do it again next year! Yow! Roughing it (not)!
