see a go!

"In the year that I've had my GO I've been on 13 trips. I think my most memorable was at Douthat State Park It was stormy, rainy, windy, the park ranger first said we could be stuck in the campsite if the river overflowed. Several hours later he returned to let us know of tornado warnings!! We stuck it out and survived. Luckily we had great shelter in the GO!!!"
