Nice set-up @blueeyes ! I see the sleeping pad in the car too :cool:
 
I am lazy. I don't want to set up a tent and take it back down. And I perfectly fit on the back of the 4runner with the bike!

Excellent! And your bike doesn't snore- huge advantage to ensure a good night of sleep.... I'm testing a similar set up tomorrow night. We shall see...

She better not snore or I am kicking her out. Snoring is the worst!

Report back on your trial run. I have found that my camp table which is the perfect width of my pad is a great sleeping platform in the back of the 4runner. Otherwise just the 4runner floor is to angled and lumpy for this princess. I discovered that when I refused to pay for a hotel room on my trip to Colorado Springs. I ended up smashed between bike and camp gear with out the sleeping pad on top of the camp table and slept fabulously for a few hours. Previous attempts in the 4runner were not comfortable because I wasn't flat. So this trip I intentionally left the table in the back with the sleep pad on top. Awesome night of sleep.

Bagged one night for October, and I've got another coming up next week. This weekend I explored Robber's Roost Spring and Lost Park, and then found the Not-As-Great-But-Still-Pretty-Great Gallery in Horseshoe Canyon.
