    trick with 3x4 tarp

    Here is what I did with the tarp to make it seem less huge. After slipping in my tent pole at the center of the tarp, I pulled all 4 corners on top of the tarp and wrapped the tie off cords around the end of the tent pole ends. The wind was blowing, and it rained in the morning and I had no issue with this set up.

    That's certainly and nice spot you picked to set up.

    It was well protected for sure. Even with the wind and rain I hardly noticed anything.

    3 x 4 is "Huge"????

    What does that make my 13.5 x 10?

    OH YEA! Extra Ginormous!

    BTW, nice site you picked.
