Chasing a BOREAL Autumn

We embarked on this road trip to chase down the Autumn colours we anticipated would be exploding in Ontario and to 'shake down' the performance of our new 300ah Advanced Lithium Battery by GoPower. 

We dry camped at several provincial parks and mooch-docked with friends. We were off-grid for 3 weeks, relied solely on LOAF's 12v electrical system and propane with a large percentage of our cooking done on woodfires. The new battery performed flawlessly in weather conditions that were sometimes overcast and at sites that did not always offer the best solar gain.
