S3: Vlog #42. Mount Magazine State Park | Disappointment at Hot Springs National Park
April, 2023
This week, I find myself back in the Natural State: Arkansas. Where everywhere else is full of dead winter trees this time of year, Arkansas is green and lush. It really is beautiful.
This adventure I'll check out Mount Magazine State Park, Arkansas' highest elevation point at 2,753 feet, get disappointed by my 33rd national park (Hot Springs National Park), and deal with a refrigerator issue.
As always, thanks for watching, and keep exploring life with an open mind.

My Solar Setup:
This is my second setup I've installed in Vandalf the Grey. The more you travel, the more you figure out what your needs are. I've stuck with Renogy products both times, because I literally have had zero issues with them. They just work the first time. Every time. I am a Renogy affiliate, so if you use this link, you'll receive 10% off your purchase, and Onyx and I will get a bit of gas money. http://73renogy.refr.cc/johnnyg

- DCC30S 12V 30A Dual Input DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPT (this was a game changer! MUCH faster charging than my previous charge controller + it charges the battery while driving, if necessary)
https://bit.ly/3yFv7Gm
- Deep Cycle Hybrid GEL Battery 12 Volt 200Ah (I AM sold on the advantages of lithium ion, HOWEVER, I don't feel the costs have quite reached the value yet.)
https://bit.ly/3lUAi1m
- 700W 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter (This is plenty for me. I use it for charging of devices, a fan, significant LEDs, and that's it. Go bigger if you're planning on a fridge, etc).
