My grandma must have taught them how to build a tent, too - that looks just like what I used to make in her back yard, except we used the clothes line instead of trees.
When I said I started building tents at 7 this is what I meant. Here in Bend we can have "garden bedrooms" in the summer as long as theres warm blankets. A small screened in "lean to" with a raised bed will do.
Yes the tent in the photo looks like it would be fun to visit. It looks a lot like my friends 6 man tee pee squad tent with its cot. Jim

a quote from a frontier trapper (they called them selves mountaneers)
"The bed of a mountaineer is an article neither complex in its nature nor difficult in its adjustment. A single buffalo robe folded double and spread upon the ground, with a rock, or knoll, or some like substitute for a pillow, furnishes the sole base- work upon which the sleeper reclines, and, enveloped in an additional blanket or robe, contentedly enjoys his rest."
I mean that tent _could_ use a nice buffalo blanket.
