High Sierra Topix

Camp on the southern slope of Hamilton Basin. In 2 nights there I experienced rain, sleet and light snow. Always clear in the morning though.

Love those boots!

how do you know I actually own the tent?

As I see it, life is too short to be cutting tags off tents unless they get caught in the zipper. Clearly, that hasn't happened yet.

That would drive me insane.

More than a few hours in the tent and I'm cutting tags and rubbing stickers off every piece of gear I own. Leave me alone with the stuffed bunny, and he's fair game too.
