We had a great spot and a nice turnout for cold beer and jambalaya yesterday. The Broncos didn't do their part, but the pregame was plenty fun.
My 60 watt solar panel continues to impress, keeping things above 12.5V while the Group 27dc battery ran the fridge, the TV (via inverter) and the stereo at full bore for around four hours before the game.
As always, I had several folks stop by to take a tour and talk Vanagon, which I never get tired of.

Threw a little tailgate for the Colorado Rapids/Portland Timbers MLS game on Saturday. Those games are surprisingly fun to attend and parking is free.
We set up right next to the stadium and had lots of folks come by and talk Vanagon, including a couple from Loveland who had the very same model as mine.
We're number one!
After a brief storm.

Here is a picture of the "Battle of Bristol" tailgate. The football game was at the Bristol Motor Speedway between Virginia Tech and the University of Tennessee.
It was a blast! People loved the bus!

Three days of Widespread Panic @ Red Rocks, the tradition continues...Tatanka has been our tailgating hub for 36 of these shows going back to '05 (missed one year with a bad transaxle.)

I have multiple people walk by and say stuff to the effect of, "your van is here every single year. It wouldn't be Widespread Panic at Red Rocks without it."
Makes me smile.

You must've got up late - you missed the shade tree by at least 2 car lengths this year...???

Ha! I was asked that question multiple times. With the fridge running and the stereo at full tilt for hours, I need to have my solar panel in the sun!

[quote="Halifaxwesty" ]Its my 1 year anniversary from my failed roadtrip from Halifax NS to NYC for the MIAvsNYJ game. We made it to Conneticuit and my water pump went...had to rent car the rest of the way. Almost made it.
Go Dolphins.[/quote]
Maybe next time just go to a Patriots game-- cuts off almost 1/3 of the trip. Aren't they in the same division? |
