Pooks ~

Love your Element pictures and your luxurious tent camping set-up! My husband and I would like to do something like this too. Where were you camping? It looks absolutely gorgeous!

Feel free to PM me with this answer since I'm kinda hijacking the thread here.

Thanks much!

Emily -- Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Our favorite place to camp! More pics here:

and I may post more later.

One more thing about the Element. For some odd reason they don't have as high a towing capacity as many SUVs. I forget what it is, but only lightweight trailers, popup tent campers, etc.

When we were at RMNP another orange element rolled in pulling a small popup. They of course honked, waved, and we ended up visiting. (Element owners tend to be instant friends that way!) They had driven from Michigan and were getting 22 mpg on the highway with the trailer.

Pooks - thanks so much for the info! I totally missed your response because we were out of town for five days, and I got hopelessly behind in my TE threads.

Hubby and I have been dying to go to RMNP, and your pictures surely clinch that idea. It's simply gorgeous!

And just to keep this thread on topic, here's our Element in the process of being loaded for our Ohio trip (where I was last weekend):



Those are our Bike Fridays, on a homemade rack my husband made.

Thanks again!
