    Not the ones set up with plug ins and everything on them. They're more expensive than a harbor freight hard case.

    I made mine myself. Barely $25. And I don't feel guilty drilling holes in an expensive case.

    paid $29.99 for a hard shell case and can launch it down a hill if I need to without damaging it.

    I like it! I've kinda gotten hooked on these tiny "off road" type campers. Check mine out in my sig all the cool stuff started around page 24 I think . Look at a Lock nRoll hitch if you haven't already I have been impressed with it

    Now ya need a build thread for the camper!

    Only the two center ones are blue, the other 4 are white. I dig them, just enough color while still have function from the whites. I want to add more whites though, in non snow conditions the whites aren't bright enough.

    It was, but not terrible. I need to get a better tent though, this one is basically a summer tent.

    How does that saying go? "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, ..."

    If you've been a reader of previous trip reports, you may recall one of the craziest trips to date - The De-Tour - which occurred almost exactly one year ago (but that just finished writing up and posting). That trip was a great one for many reasons, but it had gone nothing like we'd expected - snowing or raining every day - eventually forcing us to abandon our Tour of Montana and Wyoming for what we hoped were clearer skies, in Utah.

    ...where it also rained on us.

    Even so, it wasn't long before we started talking about "next year." And before long, "next year" was now...


    Read all of chapter 1, and get ready for a trip even more awesome than the last!
