I have me, my glider, logbooks, insurance policy, and my truck. Advice

appreciated, off line is perfectly fine with me, but sharing for
others might be good too.

Well I may not be adding anything to your inboard infos, but Tehachapi
being at 4200' is nice and cool at night, making it a swell camping
spot in my book. There are showers there too, as well people to help
rig on Sats to, but I'm sure Caracole, Rosemond, & Llano have
amenities of sorts & Sat activity too... camping in your metal tent
would almost certainly be nicer in the pretty mountains than the
desert floor though, but than again you live in near Vegas so your
brain may have already melted long ago
