AS IN THE PAST, WE WILL STAY AS ENVIROMENTALlY FRIENDLY AS POSSIBLE [sorry cannot stop the methane farts].
At the present time we have the bikes themselves and good bags. Just ordered a Sierra Designs Lightning HT 3 tent and 2 BOB Yak Plus trailers, as well as the rear rack for Aggie's bike.Will have to perform a few modifications like drilling and tapping for A's rack, and modify the trailers for the solar set up, including voltage regulator inverter etc, so will be very busy. Getting more and more excited.
So now the fun begins. What can we afford: a lithium-ion battery pack, 4.4 lb for $450, or a sealed lead acid battery, 12 lb for $43? Folding solar panels for $400 or solid for $100? [Already decided on the solid ones -- they'll be mounted on the bikes as we ride.]
Now can A have her personal lubricant? Of course, but how big a jar?
How much beer can I carry? [*#()% that sucks!]
Heaviest weight is the gun and ammo!!!!! How much? Probably be our only source of meat except in town. No we are not vegan, but invite them to ride with us. :)
GREEN MEANS TO ME:
Minimal petro [fuel for stove only when necessary].Bike instead of motor home.
Pick up TRASH instead of leaving it, even if left by others.
Bury organic waste, i.e., feces. We don't like stepping in it.
Have the guts to tell folks who litter.
And most of all, enjoy ourselves while we model respect for the planet, do internet readings, and make and sell jewelry from the bikes. (The jewelry tools are probably heavier than the gun.)
Anybody got one of those good 1 micron water filters they don't need?
Love ya
THINK GREEN
BLESSED BE
C&A
PS I would like to thank Cindy and Nancy for paying for our tent... We love you.
