Who hasn't done something similar.....
(Preview)
First trip in this van & I forgot the tripod. Not much fun trying to prop up the dish on a post & rail fence & make it work. This first trip was a shakedown to discover what we forgot to pack. The first thing (no second actually) missing was notebook & pen!
