New Ride

Getting ready to set up this year's version of the fishing vehicle. The Subaru had one drawback with the tent mounted on top. After you set up camp, if you want to drive upstream you have to take the camp with you. So I decided to move the tent to a small trailer. Which will require a little more power than the SUBARU has. Soooooooo......
Just kidding! That's the new Dodge Hellcat, 700 hp and $123,000 (even though the MSRP is closer to $80K).

Here's my new ride.
A 2007 grand Caravan with 80,000 miles and a much more reasonable price.

It has the added bonus of room to sleep if I want to pull over for a nap without setting up camp.

So anyone interested in a low mileage, one owner BAJA with a custom tent rack on the back, let me know. 

Forecast calls for the freezing level to go up to 9000 feet for the next couple days. Could be a long hot summer.

Coming up next, the new trailer top tent set up.
