Re: Camp Shots
Not quite "perfect" since it is technically "illegal". Here are other "perfectly illegal" campsites. In these cases when I do not meet the distance rule from water, I am very careful to do all potentially polluting activities at the 200-foot limit. I only stay one night at these kind of campsites and only when solo to reduce impact. Ionian Basin is another place where finding ANY campsite is challenging.

Re: Camp Shots
WD, that's a super nice camp under Scylla! Here's a favorite from this past April. NW end of the Mendel-Darwin Crest.
My first try with the spartan "Betalight." Worked well, weighs nothing.
All the comforts of "snhome."

Re: Camp Shots
The old tent gave up the ghost this year! Here are photos of camping in my newest tent, the Tarptent Notch.
And here is an oldie- Me cooking (in my wool long johns) before we had camp stoves! Or tents -that is an old fashioned tarp in the background.

Re: Camp Shots
It took a lot of practice and experimenting to set it up quickly. Like all non-free standing tents, if you pop a critical stake, it falls down; so I took 10 stakes with me this summer. I will take 6 in the future now that I have the set-up figured out. Being a trekking pole tent, I am VERY careful not to do something stupid like leave trekking poles at a rest stop! It did great in heavy rain and wind. No condensation problems like my old Moment because there are two doors. The no-zipper fly so far has not been a problem- it closes up pretty tight with the Velcro. I still prefer a free-standing tent, but am willing to give up some convenience for less weight. The door openings are fairly small, so I think big guys would have some difficulties, but it is perfect for me.
