    Thank you for the compliment. Just a lucky find while navigating Dedeckera Canyon
    I do have an annual pass. I think the Cottonwood entrance isn't used that much but I could be very wrong. I've ran Berdoo once north to south. It isn't that bad and is definitely an option depending on the destination and time available.

    Haven't had much time for composing trip reports lately so I'll just share a few random pics...

    ARB room enclosure which was very necessary at Benton. Lots of flies.

    Its good to see you’re getting out there. I’m kind of missing the regular trip reports from you and the other DV desert rats. That campsite on the bluff is awesome. I’m trying to get a trip to Big Bend NP toward the end of the year to dip my toes into desert camping.

    Welcome. Hope you like it. Pro tip when stowing it. Keep your guy lines set up and put the horizontal supports away first. Then do the vertical ones and roll it up. Oh and I place a cheap tarp below the awning room floor for extra protection.

    Thanks.
    Horizontal first. Good, will do that.
    I wondered about the guylines.
    I got a 6x8 tarp at Lowes yesterday.

    @ETAV8R
    Have you tried a small carabiner to attach the guylines?

    Set up today.
    A slight learning curve. But, obvious.
    Care required when feeding the ends in the channels AND when zipping the end.
    Wife likes it a lot.
    The quality shows. Good materials.
    Thanks again for your post of the enclosure.

    Was out exploring in MNP and saw this. Made me think of you, as the photo you posted in the Tablelands of a wave was what piqued my interest in going the first time.
