what is that large cvt plate sticking up in front of the RTT??

IIRC, he built a pivoting wind fairing himself

Escaped the city and its 110°+ temp to 7800' and cool rainy temps.

Then we drove out to the Black Mesa in Oklahoma, which apparently has one of the darkest night skies in the US, but when we were there the moon was nearly full. It kind of looks like Africa or Australia.

Big Bend Ranch State Park is pretty nice without the moon. It's like being in a planetarium. No light pollution.

My favorite time to camp love fall camping.

I agree, just some cooler temps would be great. Florida is too hot this time of year.

What's with the tarp over the back in both your rainy weather pics?

 

[atomicshawn]

Thought the terrain looked kinda familiar. I grew up a little farther down the Rim in Pinetop.

The tarp is my ghetto rain fly. I like the small rear window open for ventilation. Also the window uses velcro (no zipper) to close and does not do a great job on sealing from blowing rain.
