So happy to have finished all the prep work and get on the road.
Seemed like project after project, not to mention the "loads" to be packed.
Well, we made it and still haven't thought of what we forgot, but the journey is young.
The LSF (Little Silver Fox) towed well.
We had hoped to weigh at the station on I 94 west of town, but the scale was closed
and the HP was doing weighing with portable scales.
Oh well, we will just go on our merry way until we find an open scale.
Thought the LSF pulled heavy until discovered the 25+ mph cross wind.
Other than fuel mileage being a bit lower it towed great.
We journeyed to Theodore Roosevelt Nat. Park in the Bad Lands of ND.
Planning on spending 4 nights here to test out all systems for boon-docking.
That means no hookups.
After the first night battery's are still at 90% so
we are hopeful we can make it until the sunshine comes back for the solar to recharge.
If not, will have to start the generator.
We squeezed into a beautiful little site and hope there is not too much shade to use the solar.
May have to move it around some, the advantage of a portable unit.
No campfires allowed in the campground,
although charcoal cooking fire is allowed in the provided pedestal device.
There also does not appear to be any TV signal sooooooo
Will just have to enjoy the scenery, a good book and each other.
Could use the inverter to watch a movie or stream Netflix,
but we are wanting to find out just how long the rig will last just using batteries
and not working too hard on conservation.
If it stays cloudy too long and we have to use the generator,
then we will watch something for entertainment.
So from our little slice of heaven
Make your day great
Tom and Millie

We're prepping ourselves for a trailer trip with our "Little Guy", heading to Thunder Bay then down to Duluth, and on to Copper Harbour in Michigan. Never thought about the Badlands though. Hmmm, maybe if the weather really sucks around Lake Superior.
