That's patently ridiculous.

Todd is anything but disinterested. :evil:

Just FYI - planing can go on without me. Something came up for those dates. If things change I will let ya'all know.

No

It requires a trailer to transport (which I could do, but won't) and requires about four people during parts of the set up, which takes about three hours, and the tear-down and packing is about two hours.

It's a bit much.

Although Susan and I will be purchasing something like this (from Panther Primitives) in the near future (but not before this year's swanking):

Wow, yeah, that'd be a bit much for a short weekend. (the set up and tear down, I mean)

me want!!!

This is the style of tent we have. I highly recommend it. It's plenty big enough for two queen-sized slat beds and lots of stuff. Canvas is breathable so you can actually sleep past dawn, if you choose. And it's tall enough to stand up in. Most important - small enough to easily transport and set-up, and no guy wires to trip over.

Now y'all just need to plan a Camp Swank: Northwest edition to be able to see it.

The other tribe (Team Laissez faire?) may or may not show up, won't make any plans in advance, might bring enough food or booze, but might not - they'll arrive unexpected, maybe early, maybe late - and will leave unannounced (when the food & booze run out?) They might even end up in Yosemite instead.

At the end of the trip (if it can be determined) both tribes will post stories and pictures and a disinterested third party (Todd?) will announce a winner

If this happens, I'd try to go. And I'd be on Team Laissez-faire. Cuz that's how I roll.
