:sombrero: Time is of the essence and I found the camera SD card I'd misplaced in Las Vegas-
Here she goes
I've gone to this part of the Sierras for over 14 years and evidently (first time)the Pacific Lumber Co (?) has timed/chosen/selected this are to do daily lumber tree cutting/trucking and on that trail I showed at the start you can meet 6 big 18 wheelers and they aren't and won't backup--so I'll stay outta that area for a long time-besides the noisy chain saws ALL DAY, starting at 0530 am
The TEPUI tent was perfect/quick/comfy and evidently the bear didn't like the smell, because this morning about 0100 hours he/she "wuff'd" and "nosed" the tent--scared my wife outta 10 years (yeah), but I worried more about her than a Black bear--I did have "bear spray" and a 1911 S&W so it coulda got real noisy/stinky, but didn't, the ranger said bears are real noisy this year. but no troubles yet (YET)--and I ain't adding to the count-
So, my wife and I really enjoy the Tepui and have the setup/teardown pretty fast, but we've gotto get a new mattress for total comfort-no problem-
The modified TENTRAX turned out perfect andf could take the trail without any losses-
Thanx Box Rocket-
