    Thanks for the great TR, even though it makes me feel a bit homesick for my former stomping grounds.
  • Darn you. The scenery is just your backyard?
    I think my friends would be happy there with tarp over the head.
    Good job.

We were at a sports show and expo in Sacramento this weekend and my son (who's grown) is starting to show interest in sleeping platforms for his jeep. It came from experiences just like you shared.
