2024 Estelline Trip

[markiver54]

Jim, your planning and prep are very admirable. I know you and Maureen are looking forward to your trip to Estelline as I am for you as well.
Looking at the current pics out there though, you might want to take your time getting there!

another day, another decision made and acted on .... last year we purchased a Domende 12 volt Refrigerator 54qt Portable Freezer Electric Cooler (first picture below) ---- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BJ ... UTF8&psc=1 for use during trips in our camper .... it worked exceptionally well until it quit working .... a warranty replacement was delivered to us in Estelline and, so far, it has performed flawlessly .... for decades we have brought back thousands of dollars worth of South Dakota steaks for our family and some friends along the way .... our big Yetti cooler (second picture) has been our largest way of transporting those steaks from SD back to NC .... the problem is the Yetti's bulk and weight .... with a full load of steaks and ice, its weight has already required us to reweld the carrier shown three times .... we've tried to haul it on the back of our truck by that restricts the camper from pivoting and can hit the front of the camper .... had to have some fiberglass work after we got back from our last trip .... we've decided to retire the Yetti and have ordered another Domende Electric Cooler/Freezer ....it should be here shortly after May 1st
