It's been killing me, I've had the new Hawk for a month and haven't been able to use the new campler other than for football tailgating and a portable office. This weekend I didn't have any committments like the rest of the family did so I ventured out solo.
I headed up to Deadwood Reservoir in the middle of Idaho to see if I could still make it (it snowed earlier in the week). The summit had about 10-12" of snow. I was the only person at Deadwood, quiet, peaceful, and very cold...it was around 16-18 degrees Friday night. I was sure grateful to have the heater. When I ordered the camper I didn't order the Artic Pack...thought I'd see if I needed it...hmmm??? I took a nap, read, explored around on foot and driving. I even had to pull a yearling bear cub off the Banks Lowman Highway that had been killed by a vehicle and left on the highway.
This being my first trip out, I was very pleased how the truck and camper handled the steep climb to the summit. Driving in the snowy conditions was a real pleasant surprise too. On the return trip home the highway had several inches of fresh snow, the truck felt very stable through the tight highway turns, the new BFG All Terrain TA's compliment the camper weight for the improved handling.
It was a great time.
