Inaugural trip 1500 miles roundtrip to Buffalo National River AK with the brand new 178. We arrived Friday to rain and a rising river (3.5 ft rose to 17 ft. in less than 24 hrs.!). The pod performed wonderfully through rain/hail/wind including the R-Dome. Mist filled hiking Saturday and by Sunday skies cleared and enjoyed the spectacular surroundings all day. Can't wait for the next adventure!

Congratulations on a successful inaugural trip! Kind of scary when you get in a situation with rising rivers. We had that 3.5 years ago at RMNP, when the Big Thompson took out entire towns and many miles of roadway.
