That's a pretty good read but I wish I hadn't read it while it was lighting as I was setting in my tent Friday night :o the only thing I keep ed thinking was I hope that little pine tree is taller then my tent on the open meadow :( On another note I did get to see lighting hit a tree Saturday as I drove back to camp that was pretty cool just to close for comfort I'm glad I wasn't walking.
