The back seat

The BS in our covered wagon Is critical. Being empty of kids we have full access to this space. There's a red Gott freezer chest that goes back to our camping days and is a perfect size for keeping 3 days worth of salad and fruit supplies and yogurt. There's the red Trader Joes bag with snacks, bug spray, sun screen and a sharp knife. In the laundry basket is the bag of paper goods, a few souvenirs, the gum and a roll of paper towels. The basket helps keep things separate and missed getting packed for the movers. Behind each of our seats in canvas bags is all the computing gear. I'm packing an iPad (retirement gift from lots of Bedford and EDCO checks), a new MacBook Pro laptop a Canon Rebel and a pocket Canon S90 and cables and chargers. At close hand in the Crimson Harvard Lunch bag are the water bottles on ice for the day. The grey bag has a box if Kleenex and the garbage bag hangs from a seat clip. Sue keeps chopstick, emery board, eye drops and wipes along with pens and paper in the arm rest. The Garmin takes up most of the glove compartment. Oh, the blue AAA bag is the library of maps and guides - we are still hooked on a paper map and the AAA guide has led us to many GEMS. The Yelp App feeds us and the Overdrive and Pandora Apps entertain us from our iPhones which we keep charged from a splitter cable plugged into the cigarette lighter - the splitter is shared with the Garmin. Can't praise the Garmin enuf. She goofed only once in Louisiana when we were looking for a new tire and she tried to find a WalMart. She couldn't find it and led us to a dead end street. It's kind of reassuring how she answers the "Are we there yet?" question with the arrival time always visible. I like to just push the speed limit enough to shave off a minute or two. The straw hats sit atop it all. We can reach everything from our seats. When we stop @ a rest stop we take turns and don't leave the car unattended or out of sight at a restaurant. It's all been working for us.
