T3+

I made the purchase! We are now owners of a 3-person tent.

Noticeable differences from the Quarter Dome T2 (what we used on the PCT and last year's LT hike):

Length = 10" longer

Width = 21" wider

Weight = 1lb 8oz heavier

Itinerary (first draft with 2 options)

This is one of the reasons why I love hiking (not kidding)...
