Default Madera Canyon camping trip

I just got back home from a camping trip in Madera canyon, it turned out to be quite an adventure. The ride from Tucson went very smoothly we arrived there around 3. However when we arrived a few problems began to surface. The bag that the 3 person tent was supposed to be in actually contained no tent just a lot of metal pipes, so we piled everything we brought with us around the picnic table for extra insulation and slept under there. The only fire wood we were able to find was wet from the recent rains but we managed to start a fire using some dry twigs, the wet wood burned but not very well. I managed to stay pretty warm in my sleeping bag last night even though it got down to 31 degrees. The only mechanical problem occurred on the way home. The master link that held together the chain that goes around the motor sprocket to the jackshaft broke, but luckily I had some extra chain and a chain breaker with me. I had such a great time, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without my SBP shift kit, I really needed the low gears to tow all my gear up hill.
Hope you enjoy the pictures
