You did great @Scott Chandler - I can't find it. Where is the tent?

There is a triplet of snow fields about Midway down the left half of the photo. Below the rightmost of the three is a little white dots. That's the tent! I was amazed at how much it seemed to blend in as just a snowpatch or shiny rock.
