Maiden Campout

 

For the first campout we did not go far. Just drove about 25 miles to Hobble Creek canyon. We had a great overnighter. It's great to have everything you need back there in the galley all organized and ready to go. After we sat around the fire for an hour we watched a movie on the laptop in the camper with the Jambox for sound.
This was a great project and now that the building is over we have our little teardrop sitting out there at the side of the house ready of a spur of the moment decision to head for the hills. Next campout will be one week in Yellowstone park in a couple of weeks. I'll post a few pics.

Yellowstone trip

 

Cheri and I took a 35th anniversary trip to Jellystone Park in June. Five days camping in the park. It was really nice we saw so many things we had never seen before in Yellowstone. The trailer towed great and we were quite comfy sleeping at night. I was a little worried about my supply of electricity but there was no problem. The battery was still at 12.5 volts at the end of the trip and that was with a few cell phone charges and charging my laptop once from the deep cycle battery. We watched a movie almost every night.

In addition to the Yellowstone trip we have had it out on two other trips this summer. Hobble Creek and Currant Creek. Hope to get in a couple more before the snow flies.
