Our first trip

Hello Donnie, Tina, Sue and Mike. It's too bad we're far apart, we could do an astronomy pod-a-thon! Telescopes look great next to Rpods don't they?

Hi Donnie, I'm glad to hear you're loving your r-pod.  It's a bit off topic but what do you observe with?  We have an AP 130 EDFS on a Losmandy G-11 that we take on most of our remote camping trips.  To me camping and amateur astronomy are a natural match.  

I think we as owners ought to ask Warren Buffet to give us stipends for all the free tours we give of our pods.  We enjoy it, don't get me wrong, but not only have we given tours at the basic campground setting but also at rest stops, filling stations, grocery store parking lots, you name it.  A few years ago when we were escaping the tidal wave of rain at RMNP in Colorado we found ourselves at a rest area in Nebraska and gave 3 back to back to back tours.  A little over an hour later we were able to resume our trip eastward.  Great to hear you had a grand time!

Glad you had a great maiden voyage! Sounds like fun!!

It was a lot of fun and we met a bunch of really nice folks.  If you ever happen to be where there is a Star Party going on (usually the new moon weekend) they have "Public Night" and anyone can come in and look at the night sky through some very nice telescopes and ask questions.  You wouldn't believe what you can see when there's no light pollution.
