Toad II Gets a Present

We went back to REI today (we'd made a scouting visit last week). It took a bunch more measuring, looking at the stats, opening and shutting every one of the carriers, but Forry finally decided to buy a Yakima 16 Skybox. The sale people helped put the carrier on top of Toad II for us.

We are planning to put the canopy in the carrier and hopefully the chaise lounges that we move between the car and leaning on Auntie Violet. These are things we do not use when we are traveling, but definitely want when we are in Arizona.

We tend to use Toad II an an auxiliary storage space with the trike and the lawn chairs all stored in there as well. We have had the canopy in one of Auntie Violet's bays. It only fits catty-corner and basically takes up the whole bay. The cartop carrier should work out much better.
