<p>We have been camping in my backpacking tents but as a family we had outgrown them. When REI had their summer sale and the <a href="http://marmot.com/products/limestone_4p">Marmot Limestone 4</a> family tent went on deep discount we bought it. So with sunny skies and nothing on the agenda we decided to put it to the test at no-longer-a-State-Park <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fay_Bainbridge_State_Park">Fay Bainbridge</a>.</p>

<p>I spent a day traveling to the Skagit River to view the <a href="/2009/02/14/river-mountains-eagles/">eagles</a> when all I really had to do was go to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fay_Bainbridge_State_Park">Fay Bainbridge</a> – the park hosts a pair overlooking the Sound from their nest.</p>
