As an amateur radio operator, I end up partying during Field Day in Northern California with a bunch of internet friends / hams. This year, I ended up taking the portable tower:


Unfortunately, its 2 days of driving (1800 miles) each way to get to the party location from the house. Staying in hotels/motels was horrible. I am glad I left the tower with one of the guys in California, so I don't have to drag it out there anymore. No more having to stop for fast food, or not just pulling off somewhere for a nice comfy nap before getting back on the road.

Now waiting on the truck to get its repairs/upgrades done (new leaf springs after 510k miles, some sulastic shackles, and airbags), so I can take a couple long weekends in the trailer.

5er from last night for scale:
