Plans have changed, family will be accompanying me on this campaign, so I guess we will be finding someplace to stay in Sargent or thereabouts. No need for tent space. We'll figure out what's happening with meals as we go.
Can't help with the Colonel's cot dilemma, I opened up the two I had out in the shed, and found them to be in similar condition. Guess I'll be buying some canvas before the Grand Muster for repairs.
