Heh. I'll take pity and not do the Beavis and Butthead bit on you.

>
> Mrs Squirrel pretty much refuses to use the picnic tables in campgrounds
> unless we first put down a tablecloth. I pack one of those Coghlan's
> white/red plaid vinyl numbers that can be found in any Walmart or
> equivalent. They come with clamps which are fairly useless in my
> experience because they are intended for tables no thicker than 1 inch
> or so, while the picnic tables in every campground I've ever visited
> (limited to west of Rockies, admittedly) are usually more like 2-1/2 to
> 3-1/2 inches thick. So I end up scouring the campground for clean rocks
> to put on the corners for when the wind gusts. Mrs Squirrel finds this
> unsatisfactory because we're pretty much putting rocks (which are
> "dirty" in her estimation)atop the tablecloth, which is meant to cover
> up dirt and stuff, so it's sort of defeating the whole idea.
>
> Anyone know of a simple clamp that can be used with these thicker
> tabletops?
