After a tough night, I'm trapped by snow in a collapsed tent (view toward my feet) Snow has blown in through the mesh, covering me and soaking the sleeping bag (view toward my head) I finally dig out and see my tent Hmm—the weather doesn't look so good Heading out in the storm (that's Rebecca, with Dave in front)

Heading out in the storm (that's Rebecca, with Dave in front)
The wind was whipping ferociously (this picture doesn't do it justice; it was punishing) We took turns breaking trail; here's Duane, up to his thighs! Snow stuck to everything, even my pole handles (that's my car in the background, snow up to the grille) Snow stake with Triptease loop attached through middle Girth hitch on tie-out loop

The whole setup (every one of these held strong during the storm; only the tent pole and some grommets/loops failed) The busted pole (failed at a joint)
