  1. I am thinking we should take two 2-person tents to allow room for our things to be inside one of the tents. It sounds like we have either 2-person tents or Ashley's much larger (?) tent available at this time. If we go with 2-person tents, definitely a stretch for 3 people + stuff. Does anyone else have a 2 person tent to bring/let us take? Ashley, what is the scoop on your big one? Want to bring it Monday to see if it is just too huge to try to carry down?

  2. Hey guys, I can bring my headlamp, sleeping pad, water filter, iodine tablets, and water bottle. I will most likely go to REI soon and pick up a mosquito net, let me know if you want me to get extras.

  3. I have a 2-person tent if we decide to go that way. A 4-person would be ideal -- I have a friend who may have one we can borrow. I'll ask.. It just may mean less stuff to carry than 2 tents.

  4. We can also borrow a tent from my friends for sure that is a 4 person tent. I do think that mine would just be too big, especially if we are going to be in the hacienda. I will ask my friends again this weekend and secure that for us!
