    The fun has begun

    Finally had a non-raining day to test drive the Eldorado and Tensa. Still lots for me to learn . Next time, I'll add the Superfly.
    It was warm from the sun being overhead even though this is at 8500' in the Andes Mountains outside of Medellin, CO.

    Wow! That’s what it looks like at 8500 feet in your neighborhood Is there an emoji for envy? At one time, when I was homeless, I considered moving to CO (I love high altitude) but it was just too far inland. There was something about Oregon and being only half a days drive to the ocean.

    So, do you have the tarp extensions? When you show us the photo with your SuperFly (please), what length is it?

    Great photo - happy dogs.

    I assume that is Colombia, not Colorado as the Andes do not run up into the US.

    I was going to say, “I’m an American; we don’t do geography”. But it was more all those experiences were we have the same name in multiple places. Did you know the Matterhorn was in Oregon?

    45° 13.80’ N, 117° 17.90’ W

    But thank you for the correction. Now where is the “embarressed” emoji

    Thank you

    Yes, it is Colombia SA. I spend time here and in the US. Here, it is green all year long.

    Yeah, I got the extensions for the tarp and will install them when I put the Superfly on and take some pictures. The tarp is 11 feet.

    Looks golden, love seeing the Tensa4's in action! Welcome to the forum. I would love to visit SA some day. Hear there is excellent windsurfing in Costa Rica.

    Did seam sealing and put the tarp on. I did not need the tarp extensions for the Tensa - yet. I'm still learning
