Your new toy is awesome, would love to use something like it in the Arizona desert. Last time I was there we put a roof rack on my Jeep that could accommodate a tent. This kept the scorpions, centipedes and snakes out. On the east coast of the US we don’t have those critter issues. This is from earlier this year on Cape Cod with my daughter. We get a beach permit which allows us to hit the beach but be a 1/2 mile from the nearest human being. Thanks, Wojo Camping in the dunes Freshest seafood ev

since we've taken delivery in the winter, first experiences will be as our base for back and front country skiing. Really want to travel the Yukon ice roads but covid may delay that adventure.
