Roy is 1/32 Choctaw…or something like that! We thought this would be a cool way to spend
the night on the cheap and it really was fun!
The tipi is actually really big inside and perfect for a guy as tall as
Roy. We waited out a rainstorm before we
set up the mattress, just to be sure that the tipi would stay dry…and it
did..mostly! It does have a big hole at the top, but strangely, all we felt
were a few drops if you sat directly underneath it. Once the storm passed, we were able to set up
our bed. We stayed dry…but it was quite
a cold night. The hardest part was
keeping the marmots out of our tent. Those silly little buggers were constantly
peeking in looking for food. Thankfully,
they are not nocturnal. I was a bit worried that one of them was going to
attack me for a gluten free cracker in the night! We campfire cooked sausages and tamales that
we bought from the organic market in Salida. We turned in early to ready
ourselves for our tour of RMNP and our first hike above 11,000 ft!
