Good link, Doug ! Logged it into our favorites. Located a little volunteer spot, with full hookups, where we could snowbird for a couple of months. If it worked out. It's on a lake that has a reputation for jug fishin' them ol' flatheads. WooHoo !! Just think of it ! Spendin' th' Winter a' fishin', stead' o' cuttin' firewood !

Welcome to the Oliver Forums stanco !!

Great story Pam ! Which one of you guys gave the "HUG OF LIFE " ? ( The Heimlech ) By the way, I notice by your late posting times, that you guys are really putting in some long days out there !

Moved to the campfire forum. Thanks for the update Pam !

Chris, on the ground works well in most locations, but there are a few places around, dry lake beds for example, where the soil will "percolate" from the gen set's vibration. The gen set will be down in the ground a bit, with the housings packed with dirt. Any chance that Burning Man is on a old lake bed ? Something simple under the gen set would seem to be a likely quick fix.

DougI, the estimates looks good to me. When we pull the fifty plus miles each way to the lake with our 4 cylinder Nissan Pickup, that is the way we pull it. For longer trips we pull with the Jeep. Dunno about the difference in weight. It pulls so well that I have no worries with pulling it.

We enjoyed your tour, photos and commentary. We are also intrested in Zion. Any chance that you have a upcoming report on it ?

Great report Chris ! The smaller size and lower weight of the Honda 2000, running the Coleman Polar Cub, is a pretty attractive thing. Any chance you might post more photos, if you have them ? How does the regulator looking "thingy" mount to the Honda ?

Well, that camo thong is quite small . . . . .

Cherie said: We'll see how we feel after a few months of living with it. > I wonder how Mossy Oak Advantage camo pattern would feel after a few months ? So, whadda' ya' think ? Is this photo a photoshop manipulation ? Or, could it actually be for real ?

Doug, we havn't weighed since it was new, it was almost dead on the factory specifications. We figgured the slight difference was in the scales. Now we carry quite a bit more on the tongue, but havn't weighed it fully loaded and trip ready, with groceries, clothes and all. Our TV is a V6 Jeep with a 3.7 litter engine.

http://www.rvparkreviews.com/regions/Georgia/Columbus.html#CGID875 Piney Lake Campground and Rv park. Stayed one night here while visiting Fort Benning. Regular rate $28. With good sam it was $23.50. Full hookups with Wifi. The wifi didn't reach our campsite, though. Speed bumps on gravel roads and parking spaces. Speed limit posted at 4.6 MPH ! Check in and out time 11 am. Good pool. Showers average, park well maintained. Though by railroad tracks, we heard only one train and it was during the day. Easy to find with wide spaces. Clean and quiet. A good stay. We will stay there again as the occasion warrants.

The humidity was so very high that we could actually see the air that we were breathing. Fort Benning Georgia, Sand Hill, basic training graduation, the "turning green" ceremony. We could see them across the "grinder", about a quarter of a mile away. They were in formation behind the barracks, doing calisthenics. We could hear the four companies counting cadence. It had a certain lilting, yet haunting sound, coming through the heavy air. We speculated that the drill instructors needed to burn off some of the youthful exuberance with exercises. It was the day they would become soldiers and the excitement was almost a tangeable thing in the atmosphere. For the first time all of the trainees were seventeen years old. Each had spent his Summer, not in basketball camp, or football camp, but in basic training in the US Army. They all had to go back home and High School this Fall, as Seniors in their Respective Schools. You could hear it in their cadence chanting, the pride of accomplishment. The stands and dignitary's chairs were filling up under the large pavillion, as the public address system began to broadcast appropriately military music. Music for the visiting ladies hairdoo's to wilt by, in the extreme humidity. Professional videographers were getting their equipment ready and seating was becoming scarce as the announcement was made, five minutes until our Soldiers marched in. A pause in the cadence across the field drew our attention and we saw them start to march to the ceremony area, spaced out so that each group made a seperate entrance. Each company was chanting a cadence or "jody". The first arrival chanted: "I used to drive a Cadillac" "Now I hump a large rucksack" . . . . . It brought back memories of a time when we would chant: "Hey, Hey, Capn' Jack" "Meet me down by the railroad track" . . . .

Thanks Steve ! Let the construction begin. Please be patient with us as our forums begin to morph into it's new more user friendly form.

Same here. A small, electric, "milk shed" heater. We put ours under the small dinette.
