Alright. Because I can't just accept the fact that I am more than ready for our Trans America Trail trip, and my aforementioned OCD and inability to leave things alone, I think I will try to furnish a DIY awning this weekend. I completely blew out the original budget (would've been fired last month for such poor management) so I cannot buy an awning at this point. Will give it a shot and post what I come up with. Only one more weekend after this one before we take off. Thanks again to the OB community for showing so much support throughout this project. I really have zero experience in these forums and social media and stuff like that. Can't believe we have almost 1800 views. Still blows my mind. Probably not a lot at all, but pretty cool for us. When it's all said and done, I will print the entire thread and put it together with all photo, video, and written documentation of my son and I's trip to give to him for the memories. Probably sounds cheesy, but that was what documenting this whole thing was ever really about. The new thread will be up soon for the trip portion in the appropriate space soon. Will post a link to that one here once up and going. Would love for you all to follow along and give comments, feedback, suggestions etc on that as well. Have a good night all.
