I'll get in on this action. I don't know anything about winning, but it would be fun to see other people's campsites and tent set-ups.

And, hoosierdaddy, even with a few broken links, that's a sweet thread!

Roan High Knob, Tennessee on the AT.

Was hiking after dark. When I got to the top of the knob, I realized I had missed the trail to the shelter. Wasn't about to backtrack. Wandered around for a while looking for a place to pitch my tent and found this spot.

I don't have favorites — especially when it comes to tents. I actually avoid them in my photos. But I have a few memorable photos — for better or worse.

After decades of not taking photos, I took a cheap camera and took a photo of a cheap tent that I planned to leave behind the next day. I regret that I didn't get the scenery without the tent.

This is one of my first photos after decades of backpacking without a camera.
