[pct-l] Tarp v. Tent

[CMountainDave@aol.com (CMountainDave@aol.com)]

Oops! That'll teach me to try and see the other side of the story! Actually, 
I'm a tent person and carried one in S. Cal during my through hike and yes I 
did experience one nasty storm. Low 20's on June 1st and 4 in. snow. Who'd a 
thunk it! ( I "entered" a boy scout cabin somewhere in the San Gabriels - 
Camp Glenwood I think it was- to escape the chill) and yes the ants were 
everywhere. ( I got some really nasty bites when I sat in a pile of them at 
dusk one evening - Does anyone know if there are fire ants in S. Cal.?) Guess 
I was thinking of flying bugs. But still, a tarp would work in S. Cal better 
than in soggy Wa. don't you think?
