Happy Walpurgis Night!

Going Solar

After exhaustive research through articles and videos and countless "Youtube Testimonials", we finally decided upon a solar generator kit to get us started this year up the Mountain.

We were going to go all in on a Jackery 5000 Plus.

We even had the kit in the cart. But one last go round with the candidates, and we thought it might be wiser to start smaller.

Finally, we decided on the Pecron E3000LFP with a full array of panels.

Our ultimate rationale was that if it didn't work for the trailer or cabin, it would be more than sufficient for the pop-up. Then we could have working knowledge on how best to upgrade.

This way, we are wading in rather than diving in.

Too bad we couldn't go hydraulic!

Special thanks to the folks at The Solar Lab for all their expertise.

Pistol Pete

 Here's an article I came across from WyoHistory.org. <https://www.wyohistory.org>

"From Sparti and His Spear to Pete and His Pistol" by John Waggener. Published 25 January 2026

Lots of interesting characters, as well as plenty of ties to other pieces of history for Wyoming and its University.
