Sasquatch 2008

[betty]

Another rowdy kick off the the summer music festival circuit. Met one Delica owner from B.C. (hey Adam) saw another (Alberta plates) pull out of the camp ground last day as we were packing up. Any other Delica owners hit up the Sasquatch music fest this memorial weekend?

Hey Crystal, nice meeting you. Good to see another Five Star Auto so far from home

Adam,

How do you access your pod on the top rack? Is there a ladder on the back?

[Adam]

Yup, I have a ladder on the back, but to get to the pod I stood on the tire and/or open door, it was pretty high up. I had another rack with packs on the behind the pod and a large rubbermaid container strapped beside with all our camping gear in it. We were fully loaded with 6 inside and 8 cubes of oil on the hitch basket.

I see. It looks like you are using the same high rise gutter mount towers that I use, but you have 3 sets of bars, are those Yakima towers? As I only have 2, I'm thinking it would also be great to get that third bar. At the moment my pod is on the other side so I can open the sliding door and stand there. I also found that if I place something sturdy inside to stand on it makes it easier to gain some height and access smaller items that are in the pod.

I've also got the same hitch basket from Can Tire and hitch from Princess Auto that you do, but still waiting for the welder at work to get some spare time to get my hitch mounted.

So that rack you have on the roof beside the pod, is that a Thule as well?
