Last week, for a project with Therm-a-Rest, we asked you to send in a picture and a one-sentence description of a place you’ve pitched a tent, a field where you’ve unrolled a sleeping bag, or the most dramatic place you’ve stopped to rest outside. We were stoked with all the entires. Here are some of our favorites. —Amy Oberbroeckling
