What tent do you have Matt? I'm in dire need of a new family tent.

I was going to ask the same thing - I really liked the large vestibule you guys have, but I kept forgetting to get a closer look while we were there!

It's a Big Agnes King Creek 4. Worked very well for our needs and the HUGE vestibule came in very handy in the rain. Never felt cramped during the trip. Bummer they don't make it anymore, I bought it last year when REI was giving them away (less than $150).

Well, the search begins then. We want the same style to replace our current tent, but would need the super sized version!

The missing files! I'm not sure why these didn't upload the first time, but these are rest of the pictures I meant to post!

You all know this Cub...

Really nice Highlander! Thanks for the tour!

Rob takes the phrase "airplane camping" seriously - proof you don't need a tent at a fly-in!

Awesome Mike!

Keep me posted on your HSF status. I'll be headed out Thursday morning with possibly a visit to Alvord Desert and Fields Station before heading to 3SGS...hitting Bluewing on the way.

If I wasn't having so much fun this weekend, I'd have a serious case of "Mr. Grumpy Gills"... It looks like the 185 may still be in annual that weekend now. And they still don't have me scheduled for my IOE and TOE trips yet, so even having the time I originally got off for this fly-in is in doubt. I'll let you know, though!
