About 4:30 as we were sitting under the canopy that was (yes was) attached to my tent trailer was ripped of by a gust of wind = and as I jumped up to grab the edge of it the metal end that holds the poles = sliced the palm of my left hand. It was not deep, just inconvenient when trying = to bandage it. We were lucky no one was hurt. That put aside, seems that all had a good time.
