Just got back from a couple of days car camping in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Probably my last camping of the year as the campgrounds close on Monday. Pretty chilly with a low of 36 degrees last night.
First outing for the new MSR Zing. Awesome. I ended up using two 8 ft poles on the ends and two 6 foot poles on the sides. Took me 30 minutes to put it up, solo, but that including a lot of fiddling around. It should be much quicker in the future
The freed up the Noah tarp to use as a tent porch. Wow, is that nice. Basically, unless it's raining cats and dogs, the vestibule door can stay open. Very handy as it did shower a couple of times.
The Noah 12 worked great as a tent tarp. I played around with a couple of different configurations and ended up with the one you see here. The only problem is that it's huge and takes up a lot of real estate. The Noah 9 would actually be a better size for this purpose.
The winter tent was fantastic. It makes a big difference to be able to close up all the mesh, especially on a cool breezy night. Full moon. It was gorgeous in the middle of the night!
Got a great hike on a little mountain on the Kancamagus Highway. Awesome foliage, although it was breezy. Had to go to a jacket and light gloves in the wind.
Here are a few campsite photos:
