Hello Chris and Rich, Maybe this giant firepit is a smaller version of the "Burning Man" that takes places at Black Rock Desert in Nevada at the end of August every year. Look it up if you have a chance! Great video. Sorry about the solar panel. Ciao

So much fun you guys are having. I just retired and my wife and I are wanting to do the same thing you guys are doing. Thanks for sharing.

We put Irish Spring soap in those places that might attract meeses. Haven't had a problem in years.

Winds high here in North Texas. Great job on the GFI assessment. Bummer on the Solar panel. But nice emergency fix. All that has been thrown at you team, as much as it sucks. You remain resilient and strong. Hard earned wisdom gained is priceless. As always, your daily sojourns and inspiration is overflowing with accomplishments. Thank you.

Big upgrade from two bikes and a tent

Having fun is hard work.

What you need to do and see if you can find the hole. Put the wire scrub Pads To put in the holes. Then you won't get no more mouse.

Things do go wrong. Took the bike from Vancouver Island to Twentynine Palms. Did not appreciate that wind. Then on to your dental city in MX, more wind, every where we went... more wind. But broke my leg... caught foot under bike, so had to fly home from Yuma on the 15th. No more rides for a couple of months. Will have to try and get the bike shipped from Los Algodones to home. Stay safe out there.

Try Ocotillo to Borrego Springs Rd then up to Palomar Mtn Rd down to pie maker town then Sunrise Rd, you’ll have a blast.

Get a couple of those circular weights that are used to hold party canopies in place. Round with a notch cut into them. You could just hang them on the legs of the panels. Probably would only need 2 or 3. Sorry to see that happen. Onward!!

I have looked at a few and what I’ve read is they do not put out even half as much as they claim. I’m still keeping my eye for a good one.

The mice can get in very small holes. I used steel wool to stuff around any opening in the outer shell. Around where the pipes pass through. Stuff them full of the steel wool they have a hard time chewing through it.

That was the remains of a sweat lodge you found.

Yuma gas: Loves, ave 3E off ramp: 4.44 for regular Friend of mine works for a solar panel company; they use sheets of plexiglass (storm protection) fixed with clear RTV sealant. Something to note about the GFI module: when you open them up and let the smoke out, they stop working 😉

I would recommend clear shipping tape for your solar panel, preferably the thicker like 3M or equal. I don't know I if it would affect its performance or not?

We were just out there in March on Sidewinder road boondocking just north of that gas station, 5.59 a gallon at the time!! Just 8 miles into Yuma and dropped to 3.79 a gallon. Did you get to visit the territorial Prison in Yuma ? Nice video.

The other thing to try for the solar panel is UV glue. You have to apply it inside. It cures instantly in the sun. It’s the stuff they use to repair rock chips in windshields. It is a very thin fluid that works it’s way between the smallest cracks. Once you expose it to UV light (the sun) it’s permanent! You can find repair kits at most auto parts stores.

skeleton was better. You could probably just spray that panel with a couple coats of clear from a rattle can and let the fox in to get the mouse.

Mice, rats, and most bugs dislike the smell of peppermint, so if you get some peppermint oil, and put drops all over your trailer won’t get any more mice, but good job catching that,Are used to go out to the human prison run every year, did that for many years, you should ride the border and walk across the border and going to Mexico, I can’t remember the name of the town, but it was a pretty cool little town
