    Great pic!   Almost looks like a staged photo shoot with that ballon.  Very nice.

    @ADRawli there were 10-15 balloons up at the same time. Most were moving higher but this one was going sideways right in front of us. The people in the bucket were saying “Good Morning!”. It was awesome

    Last week we joined our cousins at Julian Price National Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC for the 3rd annual twin T@B reunion.  It was like a replay of the first time we tested our solar setup there a couple years ago, but with even better fall color..

    This was our site 11 on the E-loop, and their twin tab was nearby, just up the hill from ours..

    Here our cousins are standing near our solar panel - we were under trees, but with a 30' + 15' extension cable, we were able to catch the southern sky for most of the day to complete a full daily recharge cycle.  We were fortunate to arrive after two days of rain, which we believe allowed us to switch to these nicer sites with sun.

    The trees surrounding the nearby Price Lake were showing nice color too.  And of course there were the ever-present beautiful rhododendrons everywhere in the park.

    We also took a ride farther south to do the Linville falls hike where we had this nice view from a mountain overlook.  On the other side was Linville falls (the smaller of several cascades)..

    Another view of our site & the huge rhododendrons surrounding the campsites..

    It's times like these that we fully appreciate being able to swing our T@B around 90° in the parking space.  We kept our ARB fridge in the van running on T@B battery & solar to hold food supplies for 4 more days at other parks after this - more photos to follow.

    Beautiful photos, @COcamper, especially the first one with the low angle & crepuscular light.

    PS:  Your photos are too big - supposed to be 600x800 max on short x long sides.

    Hocking Hills KOA, nine days ago. Last trip of the year. We did manage eight adventures in 2020.

    @JP2558 - please resize your photos before posting - Sharon

    @Sharon_is_SAM - Oops - my bad. Let's try this again.

    Thanks, Jerry

    No site yet, heading to Disneys Fort Wilderness Halloween weekend.  Getting the T@B cleaned up and ready.

    Extra Storage
    Bucket light, and my version of a split backrest


    More storage

    Our kids got us this when we got our PUP.  Moved it into the T@B.  That's our 2 granddaughters.


    Aldi table to replace the 200 pound original.  You can see my be extension mod.  There's an extra pad of foam behind the mattress.

    Need to find a use for every available space

    Motion sensor lights.  I used pairs of command hooks to hang them.  Have places on each side and the front.  Now if we walk up at night the lights will come on.

    Today I drove 15 minutes to the Arkansas river to do my work via the internet from there. Just something different to break the Covid fatigue, but being safe about it.

    We went to Clear Lake California, had a lake side spot with lots of room around us.

    This was the lake side spot, with a park like setting.

    PHOTO SIZE EDITED.


    And on our last evening, a nice sunset...
    cheers

    @Pintoplumber - We too have a 2016 CS-S... so have the same "condiment fridge" built in.  LOVE your outdoor fridge!!!  What is it?  How heavy is it to lift in and out of the truck?  Do you love it???

    @2Cougs, It is a Kuppet retro mini fridge 3.2 cu ft. My wife got it off of Amazon about 1 1/2 years ago. We couldn’t put the Teaberry ice cream in the little camper fridge, so I guess I talked her into that. It’s largely plastic with the weight of the compressor 52.8 lbs. I can carry it easily enough. It fits on the rear seat of the ‘94 suburban, or in the back of the old truck. We got a new to us 2017 suburban that has a 120V receptacle in the back. I’ll have to read up to see if it can run that. We keep the fridge in the sun room for extra food and sodas. Comes in handy at home and camping. Although we’ve only used it for Truckstock camping, the camper fridge works enough for the 2 of us for weekend or a day longer camping. We have an Outback 21RS we use when the grandkids are along camping. Dennis

    @Pintoplumber- Perfect!  I agree with a weekend is fine... longer needs more.  Have to decide on something like your set up (which I am leaning towards for our week to 10 days in one spot trips) or a better ice chest that will keep our block ice longer and be able to use boondocking.  Thanks for the info.

    To keep with the theme of this thread, and not be accused of hijacking the thread, we have not been out of the garage since October... first trip coming up in 2 weeks and can't wait.  It was used several times while having social distanced outdoor holiday get togethers when the grandkids got cold and wanted to watch a movie... and Santa even left a gift in it!

    I forgot to mention the Kuppet easily holds 3 of the formally 1/2 gallon containers of ice cream in the freezer section. Dennis

    Would you tell me about your kayak. What brand is it and how is it working out for you? We just bought an Intex, but yours looks so much nicer. Thanks!

    @AnOldUR, that kayak looks like a Sea Eagle model 420x inflatable.  We have have their 385FTA fishing model inflatable.
