My floorless Squall is vulnerable like the last night with all the rain. I like to open up vents etc as much as possible, but one night at Island Lake, it started to rain sometime during the night and I had to reach out and pull the beak down on my shelter and on the fourth night, it rained in the morning so I slept in some more. Pretty lazy on this trip. The last morning I got up the earliset at about 5:30, three miles from the TH, leaving Pinedale at 8:55. I like it better below tree line with all the trees. In the Sierra, I see some good examples of illegal trenching, I may do like you do and scuff the ground a little to redirect that little bit of water. A good floor will keep water out, even my old Eureka! could do that with a inch of water underneath.

Saw a ton of people going in from Elkhart on their way to Island Lake. 25 to 30 people there the first night.
