The mountain received its name from the legend of Petit Jean a story of a French girl that disguised herself as a boy and secretly accompanied her sweetheart, a sailor, to America.

Finally back on the road; after a couple mishaps!

We left Jackson Center OH and the Airstream Factory Service Center today.  Lithium batteries are installed and so far they are working well (after a few adjustments this morning by Airstream)!  We are at a Harvest Host site and fully relaxed.  Here are the mishaps:I wanted to fly the drone to get some arial photos of the Airstream factory to show just how enormous the operation is!  Well, not to go into too much detail, but I was just about to launch and two Chatty Cathy types came near me with 42,000 questions.  I went ahead and launched and that…
