Amy -
I've got a tent that would do for you and Delee on a temporary basis if 
you'd want to borrow it for the Ruck (or longer).  It's an older Sierra 
designs model.  We don't use it cause it weights about 6 or 7#, but for the 
Ruck that's not a problem.  Then you could see if anything that shows up at 
the Ruck would be what you need for a permanent (well - semi-permanent) 
solution.  And you could return the one you ordered without arguing with 
them about the muddy spots.

I know Ron Moak was gonna try to get some of his Six Moons Designs gear to 
me for display at the Ruck.  And Big John may show up with his gear, too.  
Don't know about Kurt, though.  Haven't heard from him for a long time now.

Anyway, if you'd want to borrow the tent, just let me know and we'll get it 
to you.  Preferably before Friday cause we'll be getting to Ironmasters late 
on Friday.

As for the pad - for this kind of weather, we use both 3/4 thermarests AND 
full length Ridgerests.  AND zero degree bags.  AND "sometimes" another set 
of overbags.

Walk softly,
Jim
