Summer Horse 100 from 2012
We were settled in for the night of Sunday movies, showered and ready for bed. The wind was up outside but it was not until I saw out the window our 10 x 10 ft tent FLY across the backyard, that I realized something was not right. We both reacted quickly and hit the back door with slippers forgoing our boots.
