the higgins tent trailer

Oh, boy!!  Going back to those tent trailer days, are we?  Lot's of fun, you betcha!  I may have mentioned this before  but here is what happens when you are camping and you have to get up during the night to answer nature's call.  I remember that I was zipped tightly in my sleeping bag, not so much because it was a chilly night but because sometimes a mosquito or two found their way into the tent trailer and wanted a good meal.  I woke up in the middle of the night with an urgent need to go to the bathroom.  I very slowly unzipped my sleeping bag so that I wouldn't make any noise and very silently made my way to the doorway by carefully avoiding any people who may be sleeping in the central floor area of the trailer bed.  I made my way onto the screen porch where I, again, very carefully unzipped the side screen opening.  Once outside I zipped it back up so that new mosquitos would find their way inside.  I turned and ran (barefoot and wearing only my summer shorty pajamas) to the public bathroom, all the time fearing a big bear would come and get me.  When I finished (what a relief!!) I ran back to our campsite and quietly unzipped, entered and zipped the screen opening on the porch and super quietly maneuvered my way over the feet of sleeping people and climbed back into my sleeping bag.  Zip, zip and I was safe in my sleeping corner.  Success.  O.K., did I mention we had a lot of fun while camping?  We did.
