A tent worth its weight in gold

A tent worth its weight in gold

Michael O’Keefe, of Murphysboro, works on a kayak carrier after setting up his tent Tuesday at Riverside Park. O’Keefe said he traded a gold-tooth crown at a local pawn shop for the tent and wanted to make sure he knew how to set it up before his upcoming camping trip. “I’ve been camping before, but it’s been a long time,” he said. He plans on taking a four-day trip with friends to the Dry Tortugas National Park in Key West, Fla.
