    That sounds/looks great, @TabulaRasa!  Kiptopeke is on our list of places we want to go, and Sep sounds like a good month, and the crabs should still be plentiful then.  I grew up spending summers in Annapolis, & still visit relatives up there - a big family of big crab eaters.

    Managed to get up to San Simeon State Park near Cambria, Ca this week.  Close to San Simeon, Hearst Castle, the elephant seal viewing areas, and the beautiful beaches along the coast.  This is site 237 in the Washburn section of the State Park.  All the sites on the west side of the campground have views of the ocean to the west, and great views all around of the surrounding countryside.  The main section of the campground is nice, but kind of buried behind PCH.  No hookups, has a dump station.





    I’ve camped there before too.  The coyotes kept me awake and there were some French travelers next to me and the guy came over pretty unnerved as coyotes tried running off with his cooler.  😂

    Beautiful stretch of coastal highway running up to Big Sur and some plenty of wineries in the Cambria area.  The drive north from San Simeon is spectacular.  Did you tour Hearst Castle, see the Zebras, etc?  I drove up to Monterrey, camped at Leguna Secca Mazda Raceway and watched the sports cars running the track.  Used that as my base camp, did the 17 mile drive around the Monterrey peninsula (breath taking!), stopped off at the legendary Pebble Beach golf club, had dinner in Carmel (Clint Eastwood wasn’t Home) and drove further north to Crescent City and hiked back into some of the giant redwood forests along the Avenue of the Giants.  I’ll be back again one day as I lived the Oregon coastline and the Columbia River gourge and Mt Hood.  Aside from Alaska, that has to be one of the most beautiful drives in NA, short of Jasper, the Athabaskan ice fields, Lake Louise and the Canadian Rockies!  👍🏻❤️

    Went to my "Shakedown Event" this past weekend. Photos were too high res to post here (trying to follow the rules)

    Rolled in to the site around 8:30 pm on Thursday and it took about 30 min or less from stopping to leveling, stabilizing and plugging in power etc.  Friday I needed to test out my "Side tent"

    I do a medieval reenactment event in the summer and I'm supposed to hide/obscure the camper.. I'll be in a heavily wooded area and only need to hide it from the door side so folks don't see modern camper from the road... so this was a test of that




    I had this 3 walled "cook shack" that is just the right width to completely block the side view.. so I just basically am going to use this a a side tent.


    As you can see, from the door side angle, the tent pretty much totally obscures the camper .. that's all I need to keep folks happy.. I can move the tent in or out a bit depending on how much width I have on my spot (Tent measures 12'wide by 8' deep and has 6' wall posts.. just had to lift the ends up a tiny bit to get them over Binky

    So, here's the view from inside.. it covers well.. I'm not worried about bugs so I dont need a tight fit.. mostly just want a small shaded area I can use as a "living room" to sit when it's raining and also as a bigger changing room... I'll put down some ground tarp and will likely put a bit of a fly over the back of Binky to make it so I can set up  a small wardrobe and a small table and other storage.


    Hoever, the HUGE test for me was.. can I work remotely?? I extended my table a bit with keyboard/mouse tray c-clamped to the table and I got the JetPack and WeBoost all set up and my external monitor

    VERDICT: I can totally comfortably do my job on the road so long as I have a good 4G connection... and preferably power so I can run the AC in the dead of summer... but IT'S GOOD!!
    A couple of thoughts. In hit sun, you can use that tent to shade the T@b. I am betting It will make quite a difference. Also, you won't miss the back as much if you can find dry air and higher elevations.

    @LisaTucson, looks great, and I got a chuckle out of the "Greater Pewee".  That name seems to imply an even funnier sounding  "Lesser Pewee".  =)

    I get a kick out of the differences in folks set ups.   We have the Glamping crowd,  carpets, canopys, window awning covers,   ice machines.    Then the minimalist,    

    Middle of no where vs the middle of it all.

    @ADRawli : Living in this area, we're just trying to get out there before it hits 110F next month.  Unlike T@bbers in Michigan we tend to camp more in fall, winter, spring... then do modifications or leave it in storage during the hottest months.  Nice tow vehicle by the way... I have my heart set on a Gladiator once the first model year issues are worked out.
