Kinda like I had to upgrade everything that V8 touches so it would stay together... Do you have your tailgate on your truck with the camper? Right now my camper is in the truck and tailgate, swingout and Jerry can is in the garage.

As long as the latches think it's doable too. Your tailgate and everything that holds it closed was not intended for this.

Onto the next thing... camping next the next two weekends.

I've seen them listed for that with new tires... timing always sucks though. I'd buy them just for the tires lol.

If you want steelies put out your feelers for Bronco takeoffs. They are pretty cheap compared to new and usually even come with tires you could either use or resell.

I wasn't super comfortable with food/trash with me while I slept... but I am in the back of my truck with a topper. Neither as hermetically sealed for smells nor as secure as a regular vehicle. And if they actually get in they have to get thru me to get to the food under the sleeping platform...

I will say campgrounds with playgrounds are awesome. Since I had nothing to really let dew dry off of I was packed up and ready way before everybody else. So we went to the playground to run around and be a little kid. And you also get some sort of bathroom which makes life with a little kid...

We got to the hiking trailhead and my son decided he needed a bathroom so I did cut out and go down below to the public restrooms by the creek. Another guy had a dog (no dogs on the hiking trails near there) so he tagged along while every body else hiked. But yeah, I was there.

There were only five trucks, I was one of them! lol I really enjoyed it, we went to LBL last year but there was a lot more to see and experience on and around the KAT. I wish it wasn't so far out there, it would be fun to do more of it.

So yeah, it was a ton of fun and I have a few tweaks I want to make on my setup. We didn't actually camp along the trail like we wanted to... but most campsites on the trail were a in a swamp... didn't really want Shrek to pop up out of nowwhere and give us the boot. We also did a fair bit of...

Then we took off for Cumberland Falls. In front of where were parked we saw a large lazy river with large rock sheets under seemingly shallow water. There was a debate how hard it would be to drive across that fortunately did not go any farther than debate stage. Yes that is what...

We got packed up early Thursday and headed off to the playground since it was there and we had time. Then it was time to mount up one last time and head west to meet up with the rest of the TRSers. We did run the KAT a little farther south first. Then we found a huge neat rock shelf...

Enough burning of daylight so we hit the rail again. More natural bridges! People try and try to grow ferns at home... and here they grow out of solid rock. The different shapes in the rock is interesting. Bubbles, swirls and almost like stucco. Ended up at Laurel Lake...

And then... the river. I only watched Jim cross. I was pretty nervous about it. As I was watching him cross I thought I need to unplug my efans and I was debating about pulling the accordion tubes so the air cleaner would just draw from inside the engine bay and not from behind the grille...

Back on the KAT we stopped at a cave. Oliver wanted my phone to take a picture of "a weird bug" I didn't think anything of it until we got home... holy cow. For this flatlander the terrain and plantlife almost seemed fake. On the road again. Then we stopped at...

Eventually we settled into Turkey Foot Campground in the Danial Boone National Forest. Very nice campground, although a "campground" it didn't take much imagination to think were camping in the woods... with toilets just down the road. I had brought my old (like 20yo) pop up hunting...

Kinda glad I left the Bronco at home... Pottybreak/lunchtime

Then we went onto Pumpkin Hollow. Online I always got the vibe it was the easier one between it and Spaas Creek. Where we are stopped there around the corner it was badly rutted. The consensus was we could probably get thru it but it would be very slow going and it was already 5pm, so...

Then we went to see the natural bridges. Walking across that was about the scariest thing I have done as a parent. The lovely Miss Livey The holes and swirls in the stone were facinating. Then onto Spaas Creek. We decided there was more water on the trail than there was in...

Rolled into Red River Gorge Campground at a decent time, sorted out a issue with my cooling fans and got camp set up. Time for bed and try out this thing we have been working on for the better part of a year... The Red River goes right past the campground, gorgeous sunrise that morning...
