Opening week camp near McCall Basin, Goat Rocks/Rimrock unit.  52 mountain goats above camp opening night.  Amazing thunder and lightning storm later in the week, complete with swollen creek crossing and a long wet night.

That doesn't look like the most comfortable set up for bad weather!  Although 30 years ago I'd have said it looked like one heck of a lot of fun.  These days I might have nightmares about it :chuckle:
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

FTF, the tipi was set up down in the valley at the end of the road; really could have used it Thursday night up high. 

RadSav, you are correct.  30 years ago I would have said the same thing.  My 50-year old brain is just too slow these days to opt for more comfort.

I never make a fire on an elk hunt.  On this trip, I started two small fires. Getting soft in my old age.

Here's a camp I ran into at Dishpan Gap. Little nicer than my rustic tarp camp.

Do you use a bivy sack with that setup?  I've been thinking of doing something like that.
