[SCA-BMDL] Semi-OT: Pennsic storm question

[laura lindsay]

Gentles:

I have a question regarding Pennsic protocol and storms.  I'll be working for both weeks of Pennsic, and will therefore not be staying up there every night.

(I'm in singles-camping with my children, not with the Barony)

I was hoping to go the first week, pop up my tent and we'd day-trip most of the time, but for the four separate days we can do an over-night.

The question is this: What's the best way to leave up the tent when I won't be there overnight?  Should we leave a few heavy things in it, undo the poles and let it more-or-less be collapsed, but for where it's staked down?

What about our canopy/dining tent?  Ought that to be taken down entirely?

I don't want the area to look entirely abandoned in our absence, as we'll still be using it during most days and several nights, and I'd like to hold onto our space; but I also don't want it flying up I-79 some night during a storm and I wouldn't be there to claim it/apologize for it/whatever.

It's a strange predicament...but I'm willing to bet I'm not the first to have this question! :D

Thanks to all who have advice!

Elsa
