Spring 1999

Birthday Present

Preparing for another summer of adventures, we bought a tent large enough for the whole family. And I mean large.

You can see it here set up in our living room. It pretty much filled the living room.

It's a Eureka Titan. A stand-alone, 2-room, 14x10', pack-in-the-whole-family kinda tent.

 
This is without the rain-fly, so you can see the exo-skeleton of poles.
It's very tall (7'), with plenty of room to stand.
For this year at least, we'll be putting a portable baby crib and two other sleeping bags all on one side for the three kids. We parents get the other side to ourselves.

Here's the rainfly:
