>From personal experience during Autumn Adventure, 11 adults will fit under
a Philmont dining fly during a rain or hail storm. 12 adults will not
fit.
This means a crew of 12, with no more than 4 adults, should be able to fit
under a Philmont dining fly if set up as your ranger will recommend. You
should even have room for the ranger.
