Since the weather was so bad on the camping trip that I took over the weekend, I got to become much better aquainted with my tent.  As I said in my last post, "I love mt tent."  Some of my friends have poked fun at me for backpacking with such a large and heavy tent, but I have a strong back and find the little extra weight is well worth it.  Especially, when you are rained in and end up having to spend the better part of four days inside the tent.  Then the extra room seems like more of a necessity than a luxury.
