Hey Michael,
I saw that you subsequently reviewed the Sierra Designs Flash 2. Which of these tents are you packing now? For the Flash 2, with the side vestibules not touching the ground in areas, don’t you have trouble with sand and/or rain blowing in?
I have both tents sitting in my living room while I try to decide which to take on the Wonderland trail in a month.
Thanks!
Cheryl
