[at-l] Advice, please on tents for my scouts

[Marsha]

Hey Longhaul...

I took a lot of pictures of a boy scout group up at the campsite overlooking 
Blackburn Trail Center last year. Their tents, gear, ENORMOUS food bags ;)

I will send the photos to you. I have to pull it out of my CD picture 
library, which could take a few hours.
