I just got out of Yellowstone park. Was woefully unprepared for the 3 straight days of heavy downpour. Granted this wasn't in the forecast as of Monday.... Lacked a secondary shelter to cover the cooking area, and ropes/ladder to tie up a second tarp to provide shelter. Also do not have a high end all weather tent so on day 3 the outer edges were pretty wet and starting to seep into the tent. Cut that short and bit the bullet on a place in Gardiner for the last two days to stay dry.

If anyone enjoys setting up a tent in a downpour kudos to you! I was somewhat fortunate in picking breaks where the rain was light to do this bit still got soaked and filthy.

So if anyone has some ideas as to how to make camping in a tent when it's 10 degrees and raining nearly non stop I'd like to hear those.

If anyone is looking to go there and camp, I'd recommend setting up at Canyon village and just staying there. I started at Madison and moved to Canyon and in hindsight that was a mistake. Would have got more siteseeing in had I just set up once.
