looks like a good game of chess more than cribbage with those serious faces

I bought my CCS tarp this spring. It's a 12 X 12.5 with custom color design. I used it on two trips as a tarp shelter. I put down my tent footprint, pad, sleeping bag, and just used a cheap Coleman bug net. It worked great. The best thing is not having to unzip and zip zippers all the time. Just walk on in. At night, I just folded in the front two corners.

The winner of the August photo contest is Tony.

The trip report contest winner is hobbydog - View Report

The extra prize goes to dibmax.

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all who entered.

Tony's shot is really nice. Congrats on that beauty of a morning pic. I looked for Dibmax pic and was surprised what I found.
