Northern Virginia Roll Call

We’re thinking yellow or blue... red will probably be a summer trip. If you know any good dispersed camping spots in the national forests/BLM areas near the parks (or in if possible) yellow and blue I’d much appreciate it!

Yellow - Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico

Blue - Missouri, Colorado, Utah, Arizona

Red - Ohio, Indiana, North/South Dakota, Wyoming

 

Oh man. I have a bunch of spots. I'll shoot you a PM tomorrow

 

This man knows his national park trips. I’ve been on one and it was solid

 

I got a good laugh out of this. Enjoy!

 

Boondocking for a week in Florida. Parked Saturday afternoon and angled the solar panels to catch the most sunlight Sunday morning. Got the big ass Dometic fridge running inside, recharging phones, iPads, GoPro and Altimeters every day.

Any bets on when the fridge shuts down due to low voltage? Can’t remember the size of the aux battery in the Off Grid Engineering dual set up.

 

Holy crap! I'm only 800 posts behind.

Good morning everyone.

 

Have fun racking that "hose"! Grabbing OT?

 

Welcome back!

 

When I first got this set up, I set one compartment to freezer temps and the other to fridge temps and let it run on battery alone, panels flat on the roof. Checked it daily to see if the fridge was still running. Around the 3.5 day mark it shut down under a cloudy day but kicked back on when the sun came out later that day. Fridge was empty so no thermal heat sink to help regulate temps. Now both sides are being used at refrigerator temps and I have the fridge full. Yesterday was raining and cloudy until the last hour of daylight but with the panels angled to catch more at 0930 the batteries were putting out 13vdc. So I am guessing it will keep up indefinitely.

 

I dont even know which way is up right now!

 

So, I was looking at my bank account today and saw 2 Amazon charges and thought it was kinda odd, maybe some fraud. After a quick review.. nope... I’m just indecisive and forgetful.

 

Thats what baby dad brain does to ya!

 

Its been teething on top at a fever the last week.
Hope everyone's behaving

 

Only down to the last page finally...between hand surgery (the tenosynovial cyst was over 6cm long, 2x what it was 9 years ago!) and baby cutting in 5 teeth, I feel you here and your earlier post on baby's, work, and sleep!

Finally started driving this week, on my second week of PT, but have quite a bit of work ahead to get my wrist/fingers/hand back to normal flex/extension range.
Sadly here's about the max flexion I've got going on these days

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

Hoping all is well with you and yours out there on the Left Coast!!

 

I'm look to have a CMC done on my 3rd Gen. Does anyone know a place near Alexandria?

 

Welcome! A little bit away from Alexandria, but I think @PyritePirateBill's shop can do the work?

 

How's the great NW?

 

Selling my softopper if anyone is interested.
