    *   BTW,

On Saturday night, we switched sleeping places with the  kids and slept on
the top bunk. Anyone that was at EB knows that it  rained cats and dogs and
was quite windy through Saturday night (we were  up in the  so-called "hippy
corner" up against a row of cedar trees)  and I heard the rain and wind all
night. At times comforting (the rain)  and times troubling (the wind), I
found the upper bunk quite comfortable,  and had more room to stretch out my
legs. I  didn't even have a  problem making my middle of the night foray to
the bathroom (guys over 50  will understand). The only problem we experienced
was in the morning,  when my wife realized that the T-shirt that she had
taken off had been  touching the canvas during the night. It was soaked. That
was the only  thing that sucked moisture through the canvas, but fortunately
didn't  spread anywhere else.

Other than that, I quite liked sleeping  "upstairs".

Hmm...I guess I should have thought of that too ( swapping for the top )
That's the reason I decided to leave than was I looked up there and saw
Asalyns  "nest " of comforters all touching the canvas and knew it would  not be a
good night for her.

I started thinking about treating the canvas after that.
anyone have any good products besides 5 cans of scotch guard that  will "
rain proof " the top canvas?
