Well I am not very good at keeping this up to date.

We spent January in the campground in Ehrenberg, then we attended Quartzfest which is an annual gathering of Hams in the desert just outside Quartzsite every January. I had a great time there withover 500 other hams camping in the desert. We stayed there 2 weeks and moved back to the BLM long term visitor area where we will stay until end of February. The weather is great here, 60-70 and sunny almost every day. I think we have had 3 days its not been sunny.

Spanky just rocks those sunglass goggles, doesnt he?

This is first 2-week trial in the desert. So far, the solar system is performing flawlessly. Only had to run the generator 1 time. It was a completely cloudy day and had to top off the batteries.
