i took our element out for the weekend camping and had a good time. i didn't get a lot of photos because i was by myself, but i did manage to take a few of my setup.
the worst part about the weekend was the amount of time it took to set up and tear down the canopy. the weather was pretty crummy all weekend (high in the 50's and low in the 40's) plus constant drizzle. i sat by the fire pit for most of the time and read. i did manage to get on some decent bike trails though.
the first night i placed my air mattress (full size) on the floor with the seats hung to the sides. the second night i reattached the seats to the floor and reclined them flat and placed my mattress on top. i think i enjoyed being on top of the seats better than on the floor. it seemed a bit more comfortable.
i'm definitely going to order the privacy curtain before my next outing. it was nice having the canopy though to block the winds and give me a place to change clothes.
my site didn't have electricity so i took along a marine/rv battery just in case i needed it.
i seemed to have most of the items needed, however i did come home with a short list of things to purchase. i'll have to visit walmart before i go out again.
here are a few pics i took...
