Granola

seriously tho, Have you ever tried camping in Texas
during the summer?  I seriously doubt it, or you
wouldn't be questioning the "value" of a generator
powered A/C system.  I would give my spleen to have a
big A/C setup in my van - down here I mothball my
camper in the summer, and enjoy the great outdoors all
winter long (when it is only in the 80;s).

You haven't lived until you are soaked with sweat from
the effort of walking 10 feet to your car at 6am.

The only times I have ever "camped" in Texas (not
voluntarily, usually sleeping on the front of an M1
tank) during the summer, I would wake up laying in a
little lake of sweat.  Kinda sucks the fun out of it
when you don't stop sweating the entire time you are
out there.

Happy trails from Houston
