yea man watch the wind... it migh be a good idea to get some lenths of rope, and some good tent stakes, and ancor it down.. at 10k lakes my stand fell over twice.... not cool, but atleast there was a poor sap that absorbed the fall... hope it wasn't anyone on the boards, if so, sorry man... also, for a good umbrella, check at baby stores, they make some for strollers with a clamp on them, they work great.
