Nice job with the antenna mount.

Good looking set up.

Thanks, the mount is not as good as the center roof NMO but I think this is the next best option.

Great looking setup Leon.

How are you liking the trailer?

Thanks, I like the trailer for what it is and the price was just crazy cheap. Some of the welds are questionable and I may reinforce a couple over the winter. The road out near Round mountain was really bumpy and that thing bounced a lot. It will mostly be seeing pavement anyhow, time will be the test.

Nice! Love the Tent. Something just looks right about an 80 with a RTT.

Thanks, It is pretty

Got comments and looks during our recent trip. I'll post up a few pics.

Wife and I just got back from a 16 day, 3800 mile road trip to celebrate our 25th anniversary. It was CO-WY-MT-ID-WA-OR-ID-UT-CO. I’ll spare all the details and just stick with some poser pics.

Congratulations on the anniversary. Very awesome. Where was the big tree and what was the favorite part of the trip?

Ha! I've hugged some giant Sequoias in my time, but never a giant spruce…definitely going to add that to my list.

Thanks guys, it is certainly a milestone. The Sitka Spruce was in Olympic National Park which really the southern end of its range.

As for the favorite part of the trip that is a really tough one as there were many highlights and adventures. This may sound boring but just spending lots of quiet quality time with Peggy would have to be it. Met up with friends in MT and Seattle was nice, fishing was fun, hiking, sea kayaking the San Juan Islands and exploring. The most odd experience had to be the cowboy that wandered into our camp (middle of nowhere WY) and proceeded to tell us his life story. He was nice enough but when jail and his fighting off three cops during his arrest came up we decided it was time for him to go. His life could have been off a country album. We think he just needed someone to talk to, although it was mostly a one way conversation.

Although the elk hunt was unsuccessful, here are some pics including the only meat brought home. You may recognize the second vehicle as a fellow club member.
