hi jim, the Orion is smaller than the meteor but still "listed" as two person.

I preferred the meteor lt cd although slightly heavier, it has great overhead

Data on the meteor and orion are on the sierra design web site.  Much more tent
advice is also listed on:

A photo of my meteor at the AT Delware Water Gap's Backpacksite #2 is at

the ridgerunner :0

And welcome to overnight outings... now for that first weekender, then

Yes its a different world at sunset when all those animals start making a

world indeed...   :)
