Now we "camp" in a trailer, still have the tent and sometimes use it but mostly the trailer. This spring at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon we watched three 20 something guys pull up within an hour or so of sunset. They messed around, unloaded some stuff from their car onto the table. Eventually a tent was produced and laid on the ground. They ate, messed around some more. One of them spent about half an hour trying to get half a dozen splits of wood lit. finally with darkness rapidly approaching one began to mess with the tent. Clearly didn't know what he was doing. Headlights on now, still trying to get the tent right. Three hours after they arrived we went to bed, could still hear them over there. Morning! Their tent looks like Mama Cass laid on it overnight. I'm guessing they forgot the poles. We ate breakfast and went on our hike. Come back at noon; their gone. Their spot reserved for the weekend stayed empty. I assume they will never camp again...
