Hi All, Just a follow up to the abandoned tent situation. Mohawks pointed out some clues that indicated my initial guess on the aerial photo was incorrect. I've changed the picture at http://www.copadelsoul.com/deadtent.jpg to point to what we think is the correct tent. If you were at Copa del Soul just take a quick look and see if you know this tent or the team area it was in. The brand of the tent was Keenets.
