Setting Your Gear For Shade . A lot awning owners set up their rigs with the awning on the sunny side, hoping that will provide the most shade. Others just set up wherever is most convenient without regard for sun or shade. . The more time you spend in warm areas with a sun-filled sky, the more you realize to set your rig with the awning out on the opposite side from the sun. . These two images were taken minutes apart and within the last half hour. When I pulled in late yesterday afternoon I checked the sun. From its position I could gauge where the sun would rise and where it would track throughout the day, which is more a southern arc this time of year. . Took some finagling in this spot to get it the way I wanted, but it’s easy to see in the second image how much shade my awning throws. It completely shades my table, chairs, and cooking area. . A little planning goes a long way in making for a very comfortable day in the desert. . The first pic almost looks like there’s a mountain or volcano behind my trailer, but that’s the awning. . I’m out here alone today, about eight miles from blacktop with not another soul in sight. There’s a smooth and steady breeze coming through camp this afternoon, with ravens quorking and playing in the wind overhead. . A ton of desert blooms are beginning to appear. Swipe for eight images taken this afternoon. . Desert living. Nothing quite like it. . It’s beautiful here. . . #wishmykidwashere #findingshade #sunandshade #rooftoptent #rtt #rooftoptentliving #trailerlife #rubbertramp #desertliving #travellife #camplife #vanlife #desertlife #igerstexas #liveauthentic #solotravel #aloneinthedesert #beprepared #adventurerig #homeonwheels #adventurist #adventuristnation #explorer #expedition #overland #offroad #offgrid #shade #homeiswhereyouparkit #nomadlife (at Texas's 23rd Congressional District) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btea79SBf1v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cl8pwfl5wvf2
