Aloha,

I'd say welcome but we're new too. My other half is from Boulder Creek and we live in Marin county. If you get a chance I'd love to know how the e2 works out, thinking of one myself.

Shhh. New Brighton is a secret. :)

It's looking like our Sacto trip is on pause Saturday, and New Brighton will be our launch trip instead. It's only a couple of miles from home so we'll drive over in the afternoon to be sure we can claim a spot on the bluff. It's a gorgeous spot with a fire cliff top spots that overlook the beach.

EDIT: Oh, and welcome to the pod!

Plans were to street camp in the in-laws driveway, but we need to pause for this weekend.

I'm ordering the E2 next week. I'll post a report as soon as it's installed and towing. I used to live in Bonny Doon, off Empire Grade, right above Boulder Creek. Boulder Creek is home to one of my favorite bicycle climbs in the world - Jamison Creek!

Cheers!

Yay - it's arrived and charging the batteries/cooling down the fridge in the driveway! Next step - a deep cleaning, and setting up the brakes on our 4runner TV. Had a glass of vino with Mrs. Thinkcooper and a few friends last night to break it in.

BTW, I bought a 1000 pound capable trailer dolly that allows me to lift the tongue, and then hand shuttle the trailer around. OMG am I glad I got that. I was able to finese the parking spot in the driveway in minutes, just close enough to open the door on one side and expand the slider on the other, yet walk past on both sides. Before leaving for work this AM, just after grabbing this photo,  I shifted the trailer closer to the fence. Easy peasy with the heavy duty trailer dolly.

Cooling down the fridge?! Are you kidding? Around here right now that means opening the door! I am sooo over this winter - already. For some crazy reason, we moved back to the NE after 25 years in South Florida. Seemed like a good idea at the time....

BTW, couldn't be happier with my 4Runner! Oh, and congrats!

Gotto go put on 43 layers and get some more wood for the wood stove....arghhhhh.
