Don made some great points about awnings.  I like the extendable-collapsible
ones, but I only talked my self into a $34 canopy with screened sides,
purchased at Wall-E World.  I like it because I can zip up the sides, leave
my lawn chairs etc. inside and drive away.  My children and I set it up in
10 minutes while griping, and about 7 minutes if we don't.  The previous $14
K-mart green-white tarp/canopy gave up after 5 years of various duties.

But, now that I have a 1 year old addition, human male type, I'm thinking
about a drive-up tent.  My thinking is that it should be fairly easy to set
up and give 2 people room to sleep while storing some equipment.   Any
recommendations on a decent one?  I might be talked into a used one... :-)
