Heh. I just looked at the blog kept by a guy who is riding across the country. He passed through Guymon, OK.
In any event, as long as it's light enough, spacious enough and pack down small enough to meet your needs, it's all good.
I am currently using a Big Agnes Seedhouse SL 2. Packed weight is 3.25 lbs. I am 6'2" with broad shoulders, and I do more than sleep in my tent, so the space is just right for me.
