Shame? We have no shame. We packed our truck and left our tent sitting in plain view next to the back door. Then, after renting a pretty nifty four man, but claustrohomophobic tent from EMS, we left our map with the ultra-zoomed-in super-topo of Rainbow and adjacent lakes on the seat of our truck. Oh, and when we were confronted with Jim’s small plane’s weight limit, we jettisoned the first-aid kit.
