So what are your New Year's resolutions Only travel with top down, only attempt to lift roof when unlatched, make sure rear door is closed......
Don't think I have forgotten to put the top down, but have forgotten to do the latches. I'll start that as resolution #1. Have driven off with the back door open. Only discovered it when we stopped for gas. That would be #2.
I always walk the campsite as my last thing before leaving. So I have no excuse for leaving an axe and our step stool in camp this last week. Resolution #3 is to leave camp with all our equipment.
I hope that in 2011 I don't repeat the bonehead move I made at the end of 2010 -- when leaving Great Basin National Park two days ago: I left the camper keys sitting on the rear bumper as I drove off. Of course, they were no longer there when I stopped in Ely. At least, I left the camper unlocked...but damn that was stupid of me!
Not that I carry any serious valuables in the camper that need locking...but I always worry that a homeless person will move in back there while I'm in the supermarket stocking up.
Looking back at 2010 I can say it was a very good year. I was lucky enough to have met more folks from this site. And I was able to get in some truly wonderful wandering. So I wish you all a very happy New Year and hope to see you on the road.
