— for this summer's 24-Hour Campfire rendezvous? Well, START planning for it! It'll be Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — 24–26 July — this year. Some guys show-up for these shindigs as early as Thursday — some stay as late as Monday. (All the same for me. I'm here 24-7-365!) We usually camp at the Armijo Springs camp ground, about 25 miles south of Quemado. Several fellows bring their campers and tents. One alternative is a motel in town (about 25 miles each way). This year, there'll be another alternative — this 18-foot teepee tent with about 250 square feet of space for up to about a dozen sleepers. If you don't have your own sleeping bag and mat, we have four new “loaners.” If you want to use one of 'em while you're here, say so before you leave home! details — http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/hq-issue-18x18-teepee-tent-woodland-camo?a=1582628(Sorry for the wee image — I can't figure-out how to make it bigger! Follow the “details” link and press the red "PLAY" button.) If anybody who's been to one of these shindigs is sorry that he came, may his mouth be forever stuffed full of dirty socks!

I have the 10' version of that tent. Good campground tent. Very good ventilation control.
