Lili and I got a whole cabin to ourselves. I almost wish someone else had been there to witness our comedic sleeping arrangements. *The first night we plopped our bedding down on the one non-bunk bed in the room. I didn't test it, and then when I went to sit down that first night I realized how saggy the springs were . I was too tired to change it though, and it was an awful nights sleep.

As Kat already mentioned, the cabin we stayed in at the Common Ground Fair was truly incredible--every inch covered in adolescent graffiti.
