CouesWhitetail Report post Posted June 25, 2010 Well, yesterday before dawn I was doing owl surveys in the Pinal Mountains and got rained on. Not much, but it counted.... And then later in the afternoon we headed to the San Carlos Reservation to do some surveys and got a lot of rain. Rain all over the place!! Not torrential, but nice rain! We got to our campsite and set the tent up in very strong winds with threatening black clouds coming in on us. It rained much of the night and when I got up this morning at 3 am to do surveys it was raining again. And it was still dark clouds over much of the rez this morning. And it's only 77 degrees here in Globe now. I love it!! Let's hope for a great monsoon season! Oh, and check out the pics of what Julie brought me at 3 am this morning! Our tent zipper doesn't work, so she spends much of the night out running around and when she heard me wake up she came in with this! GOOD GIRL JULIE!! Sunshine had a nice trip too, although she isn't so obsessed with retrieving antlers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjhunt2 Report post Posted June 25, 2010 Great pics Amanda. The mirror pic is my favorite. Good for Julie on her find. You have got to get a better tent if you expect to continue to camp in the rain. lol TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have got to get a better tent if you expect to continue to camp in the rain. lol TJ You are right TJ!! Luckily the tent has an overhanging to keep rain out of the door and we positioned the tent so the door was away from the wind Anyone know someone that works on tent zippers?

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted June 25, 2010 Amanda, purchase a new tent. They come with working zippers… Very Funny....This was a brand new tent and the zipper stopped working after like 2 uses...manufacturer sent me new parts for the zipper which fixed it for awhile, but now it's not working again. I hate zippers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
