Solar Explorations

So much to learn! For our first solar camping experience, we chose 4 nights at Grassy Point, Escribano, FL, a small, reservable, free campsite managed by the Wildlife Management Authority, 20 minutes down this red dirt road. It was just what we'd imagined: peaceful, scenic, plenty of room under the large trees and Spanish moss. A great setting for grilling too!

We continued to run the fridge and water heater on propane. We figured out the coffee maker and milk frother worked well through the inverter but not the microwave. No problem! The Dish receiver picked up both the Oscars and the Six Nations rugby matches. When the sun was out, the batteries stayed charged, then, when rain came, the generator did the job.

Yes, it was the relaxed life we've so enjoyed, experienced in a new way! We'll keep finding new places to stay off the grid!
