    Thanks! Ya its a SnugTop XV from campways in SR. Its got all the options, Carpeted, 1 piece rear glass, pro-lock (locks/unlocks with key fob) sliding front and fold down front window, Sliding side windows with screens (so doggy can stick her head out!) LED domelight, Brakelight. Built in tracks for Yakima rack.

    I love the thing. Its got ALL the options i want, and NONE of the problems commonly associated w/ campers. Campway was good customer service, and fast install, but not cheap. I cant remember exactly but i know i paid a couple G's for it...:eek:

    It looks really good. I wanna do a similar setup with the dog grilles too, and put solar panels on the roof to run auxiliary batteries, just flush mount brackets into Yakima channels. Gotta do lift first. I just hate how they put Campways emblems on them

    No. But we got to look at the big one found earlier this week which was 44 grams. And one of the volunteers showed up with one he found on his front porch. We weighed it right there and it got numbered and his name was recorded with it. It was 5.51 grams. They're confident that a large chunk did impact the ground somewhere. They'll be searching on the weekends until Fall.

    Not if you search with them. We were searching on private property too and had to sign liability waivers. But a family with a little girl were walking in Dave Moore Nature Area (I assume you know where that is) yesterday, and their little girl found one. There's a collector from San Diego that sits at the restaurant there at Lotus Road and buys them. They went straight there and sold it to him for $5,000. They were having financial difficulties, so it helped them a lot. I'm now tempted to go hike that trail again and do a little off-trail scouting.

    It would work. With NASA, you can't use them because it affects their magnetic field (sometimes even destroying it) which is bad since they use them for testing. On a side note, they tested that very first one that was found in Lotus Park, the one that was run over by a bus, and they found tire fragments in it.

    They look like coal, very black. The picture on their website doesn't do it justice.

    Anyone with a decent camera and some photography skill want to do me a solid and take pictures of my tattoo? I've already missed out on an opportunity to be in a tattoo magazine by not having pictures.

    I can pay you for your time and/or buy a beer or a meal.


    It would be similar to this: (not my tattoo)
