New T@B in Northern VA (Sterling)

ronin718

We're picking up our T@B CS Max tomorrow and looking forward to our maiden voyage wherever it may go.  We are reserved for Westmoreland State Park in VA in October, but we're definitely planning to get out with our new toy before then.

Cyclonic...  Looks like we're relative neighbors.  Would love to get together and get tips.  PM me when you get the chance.

Cool - Exciting day that tomorrow.

Congratulations!  No longer the only T@B in town.  We are in Sterling Park, near the Safeway.  No HOA here, so we can keep the T@Bpole right up along the side of the house and no one complains

Cyclonic, we're also in the "Park", right near the water tower off Holly

Okay, ready to roll...  Gotta come up with a new name.  OpT@Bous Prime???

Awesome, I'll have to stop by and get the penny tour. We are over on E Poplar.

Hi Ronin,

We just got back from Chickahominy Riverfront Park, near Jamestown. Nice park for bicycling and fishing.

I've heard that's a good park.  Another nice place we did a tent camp at in April is Belle Isle State Park up off the Rappahannock River.  Good facilities, biking, boating/canoeing, fishing, and trail walks.  We'll have to try it again in our T@B.

Okay, so I think we've got our name, and it came from our son.  We have a tradition in our house of giving our vehicles Japanese names since they'll all Toyotas.  While the T@B is certainly not Japanese-made, our son took on the initiative to research a name after seeing a picture of our new setup.  His suggestion....  Uteki, which translated is raindrop.  Hopefully if we're out camping in the raindrop we won't be inundated by them.  I guess I'll have to save OpT@Bous Prime for something else...

I like it, very original.
