IMG 1146 Have pie, will travel. IMG 1148 Ready or not, here we go. Meetings ran longer than expected and this is about 90 minutes later than I was hoping to hit the road. IMG 1149 Two breakdowns appear back to back. Arrival time slipped by about 30 minutes. Not worse than expected tbh. IMG 1150 We have arrived. Archie rehydrates. IMG 1151 Koba drinks way too much. IMG 1152 Koba barfs up the water and some of his dinner.
IMG 1154 The hooman makes coffee. IMG 1155 Our view for a few days. Archie is in the zone. IMG 1156 Testing the electrical hookup. No chilly creatures in the van on this trip! IMG 1157 Minumum power, set to 2 of 6 on the "thermostat." IMG 1158 You think this is cheating if you don't have it, but when you do... IMG 1163 A nice ~1 mile walk just next to camp.
IMG 1164 Gonna need starlink to work tomorrow. Let's get this mount set up. That black curved bit is supposed to fit over the edge. It took a few tries to realize how hard they want you to whack the center part of the stand into place. IMG 1167 Better. Ready to go. IMG 1168 IMG 1169 Wow those smooth aluminum rungs are slippery at the slightest hint of moisture. And the ground is very wet. IMG 1172 Archie spent most of the drive in that spot so he's staking it out. IMG 1173 Hookups = all mod cons. Leftover curry for the win.
IMG 1175 First ever microwave meal in the van. Fitting. IMG 1176 After we eat we go to floss and dang it. IMG 1177 But wait, there was more in the bag. Just forgot to toss the empty one. And now you know. IMG 1178 We have several token anecdotes related to this trip. Not telling them here though. IMG 1179 We have ignition. And that cardboard box the previous occupants put in there didn't help because it was full of water! IMG 1189 Night sky
