The new tongue going into place. While I was at this I replaced the basket I had welded up with a new, larger one. It’s a modified haul master 66983 hitch basket. Harbor freight has them on sale occasionally for a deep discount.
For the next hour after sundown, these provided an absolutely fantastic lightshow. The ridge is the continental divide, at 11,000+ in Wyoming. Last July.

as a btw kinda thing, my current fun vehicle is an ex cop car. From the factory, all of the radio power wiring is completely separate from...

A genuine wild rose.
There was definitely not dry...
This may fall into a the run what ya brung category a little bit. Not terribly much, because I had off grid camping in mind when my kids and I built Rose in 2008.
