Colorado vacay pics......

is that a screwdriver antenna on your TD?

I was thinkin' the same thing, but thought it was a Hustler antenna.

I use a basic Hustler mobile setup now. I have a short piece of rebar to drive into the ground then unroll radials and quick connect the mast and stinger. I don't really want to permanently mount an antenna to the TD.

Nice trip, great pics

This looks like a nice camp ground


Complete with teardrop picnic shelters

Thanks for the pics - they're terrific!

On a cross-country a few years ago I stumbled upon Colorado National Monument while looking for a place to walk my dog. What a delightful surprise that mini-Grand Canyon is! Fun drive in a Miata, too.

WarPony, I scanned all you pics and really like the TTT depicted in your post.

That might be a foundation for my build.

No galley but the layout looks good.

I'm thinking I might first try a 4x8 to see how the layout works.

I could see a future 5x8....

If you see it in person it is even better. Really nice layout and design.

PS: 4 x 8 if you are small or by yourself.

Thanks for the compliments!! If I were you, I'd go ahead and spend the extra money and build it 5' wide............. you WON'T be sorry. PM me if you have any qusetions at all.

Jeff it looks like you had a very enjoyable trip even with the chilly weather.

Your photos make me want to head that way even with the extra travel distance.

Thanks for the look.

Jeff, I have a 4x8 utility trailer already and am thinking that since your layout uses a rear door I might be able to construct a "box" (on skids maybe) that I could place atop/within the rails of the 4x8 trailer.

Did you construct yours from any plans and, if so, can you point me to them. Thanks, Tom

I used the profile of the Rimple that's in the Design Library tab at the top of the page. That's the about the only thing I used from the plans, the rest I winged it.
