[philmont] Dining Flys

Kelty makes a great tarp (Noah's Tarp) that can used as a "dining fly" at Philmont and then converted
for use as a tarptent cover when you return for camping for a group of 6 to 9 with or without bivy's. This
would make it double duty for SoCal and other users all year. The weight to cost and strength can't be
beat for the price. They come in different sizes. We've used the 12x12 tarp all over, even used it
double duty to give us a dry place to cook while at the same time collecting cooking water off the tarp
during rain storms. These tarps weigh much less than the Philmont tarps.

order last season's tarps from Philmont. Contact the ranch:

light. My crew used it in 04 and it worked great for us.
