RE: Solar Power for Camping

["Kathy Mayeda" <kathy_mayeda@atce.com>]

When you say "needed" you probably mean some luxury item that needs
electrical power that I don't have anyway since I sleep in the
hack seat of my truck at rides!!!  (I'm short enough)  But then again,
I didn't do Death Valley Encounter because I didn't have a cushy
LQ to spend my nights for a winter multi-day.

Here's my favorite alternative energy site: Went glitzy retail a few
years back, but if you dig through the gizmos there are some real
interesting products like photovoltaic panels, inverters, propane
refrigerators, wind turbines, etc.

I also don't care for the noise of generators at Endurance Rides.  In
some areas there may be situations where a generator is needed. 
However, suggest you might look at alternatives such as solar power. 
This is a good web site to visit if you are interested.  They explain
solar concepts and provide good info on this technology.

Happy "quiet" camping!
