    I've been debating about heading down to Yellowstone for the weekend but there is a 70% chance of snow all three days so I think I'll hold off on making that trip!

    thanks. I was checking out that apex 2 as well. Not sure what I want to go with. It will be used maybe 10 times a year but it needs to be able to withstand potentially strong gusts of wind because I am sleeping in an open field at the airport. :rolleyes:

    I'm going to be brave and camp this weekend...the weather forecast says mid-60's in the day and low-30's at night. Maybe a little snow, I'll just pretend its a heavy frost :rolleyes:.

    Going to buy a new bottle of waterproofing spray for my tent tonight
