We decided to stay a few extra days after the Airstream rally ended on Sunday and will head home tomorrow. We still have no cell service and very intermittent internet, so we're back in LaPine doing a little work. Thought I'd upload a few photos while we're here. So far…

We posted several months ago about how we car-top our Hobie Tandem Island while towing our Airstream, and we've had a huge amount of traffic on that post as well as a number of questions from readers. As a follow-up, here is an illustrated step-by-step guide to what we do.…
