The campground has a stash of heavy volcanic rocks that you use to weight your tent down so that it does not blow away. <br /><br />The wind was so strong, I saw other people's tents broken down and collapsed. Mine stayed standing, but the poles got so deformed that I still had to get them replaced when I came back.

Living as I do on windy Mykonos, we always pile rocks on anything that could fly away, and if you look carefully at the tents in the background, rocks appear strategically placed on the borders of those tents. <br /><br />Which raises a question that perhaps you or, if not, the Iceland Tourist Board could answer: what sort of seismic Icelandic activity could account for why the green tent is the only one with its rocks off?<br /><br />Good to have you back, el numero uno.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.com
