So you are claiming that as your picture from Colorado?

At least you tried to alter it with a no bugs here!

I have nothing to add to the thread other than the fact I'll be in Montana later this month.. but not in a fancy tent.. just a regular one.

I'm in Colorado now, place is awesome.

I didn't try to alter shite, I just grabbed a pic off my hard drive of my high altitude camping set-up showing the lack of concern for the many "critters" mentioned in this thread.
