Quite the opposite I'd argue -- more things mean more things that can break down and more time spent fixing or replacing them. The simpler you keep things the less there is to worry about. -Which doesn't mean there's nothing to worry about. Like anyone with solar panels, we worry about hail. We get skittish around storms, but often that works out in our favor. One afternoon we were headed out of Colorado, bound for Canyonlands. To the south we watched as some gentle tufts of cumulus cloud built into something ominously dark, turning day to night.

Like anyone with solar panels, we worry about hail. We get skittish around storms, but often that works out in our favor. One afternoon we were headed out of Colorado, bound for Canyonlands. We watched as some gentle tufts of cumulus cloud to the south built into something ominously dark, turning day to night. The distant mountains we were hoping to make camp in were swallowed into the darkness and we watched as lightning snapped out in front of the storm. We stopped and consulted the map. To the northeast there was a small bit of state land which was labeled with a campground icon, but there was no further information and our map is ten years old. We decided to give it shot though, it beats driving through a big storm. We cut off the highway and followed an increasingly narrow dirt road -- always a good sign if you're looking for secluded spots -- and ended up with a campsite all to ourselves, a canyon wall to one side and a bubbling river on the other. |
