What a fun question!

In Fargo definitely have to pop by the zoo and meet my wolf puppies…well, now my 85 lb puppies, and Logan, the black-footed ferret. Definitely lunch or dinner at Rhombus Guys.

From Fargo it’s breakfast either at The Shack on Broadway or, at the very least, a Blue Monster donut from Sandy’s.

From there a leisurely drive north to Grand Forks, and west through Detroit Lakes, ND, and north to Lake Metigoshe State Park. In the park there’s the opportunity (depending on season) to Hok ski, kick sled, ice fish, fly fish, mountain bike, hike, kayak…at night star gaze or night bocci ball while identifying owls.

Or, head west. Far west to Theodore Roosevelt State Park. There you’ll probably end up eye to eye with bison…I’ve had one try to put his massive head in my car window…but don’t pet the fluffy cows. Eagles and prairie dogs abound. In early spring there’s an ice cave,

Either way, on the way back, the world’s largest bison in Jamestown…and maybe a late afternoon breakfast at the state’s only Cracker Barrel. And a drive through the sculpture drive…local huge metal art by a local farmer. In summer you’ll have acres and acres of beautiful six foot high sunflowers…their huge heads turned upwards and following the sun across the state until they bow their heads to slumber in the evening.

Arizona.
There are too many options for only one 24-hour trip in a Traveler.
Canyons? Deserts? Mountains? Rivers? Lakes?

We'd probably go to MartAnne's in Flagstaff for a traditional Mexican breakfast
Take the Traveler up to the main Colorado river put-in at Lees Ferry, set up camp.
Head up House Rock Road to watch the Condor Release
Continue on House Rock Road up to White Pocket for some photography.
Head back to House Rock Road and on to the Wave for some evening photography.
Head back to Lees Ferry for a night of stargazing and astrophotography.
Take a nighttime dip in the Colorado River.
Next morning, grab our paddle boards and catch an upriver ride to the Glen Canyon Dam and wander lazily back to Lee's Ferry over the next several days.

Or...

Too many options!

 

[THil08]

Ill come back to this is 2 year when i have my Scout lol. I’ll do a time lapse lol.

The video will be a dropbox link since I forgot that we can’t upload videos on here yet.

 

[chucchinchilla]

I'm in the SF Bay Area so there's endless Scout-brochure-worthy adventures to have from here. One place I'd be itching to try is Hollister Hills off road park. Get up early, head down, and have a blast for the whole morning.

Finish the day at the beach in Carmel.

As for food, given we'd be in farm country that means amazing Mexican for lunch and something fancy for dinner in Carmel.

Plenty of other trips in mind.

 

[dreamweaver]

If DTC clears up in SC and the weather is good, we, my wife and our two dogs, will pick up our Traveler then head to our friends in Mill Spring, NC and spend some time horseback riding and catching up. Then we will head for Traverse city Michigan to visit with our family. Our family has a cottage on Lake Michigan near the Sleeping Bear sand dunes. We won’t be in any hurry so maybe several days of driving. Looks to be about 15 hrs of driving and 5 or 6 charging stops if we settled on the EV, Still haven’t made up our minds; EV vs EREV. The plan is to make a travel log of our first trip. To be continued…….

Scout Traveler, Arizona. I mentioned this in another thread that seems to have been deleted, but I'll take the Traveler up the Back Way to Crown King, which is an approx 30 mile one way off road trip with one mandatory rock garden and several optional obstacle sections. The trail starts at 1,700ft elevation and climbs through several climate zones to about 7,000ft before dropping back down into the town of Crown King at 6,000ft. Then an afternoon burger at the Crown King Saloon or Prospector's Mall and a jaunt down to 3,500ft with a stopover at the Cleator Yacht Club. Finally, an evening / night run down Turkey Creek back to pavement, then home. All in that is a 142 mile round trip with about 55 of that off road.

Separately, very much looking forward to taking the Traveler for a weekend of tent camping at Cinder Hills just outside of Flagstaff, a vast expanse of ancient volcano craters and cinder cones, with land almost exclusively covered by tiny volcanic pebbles with deep craters you can drive on and into if you know what you're doing. That's about a 300 mile round trip with maybe 40 miles of exploring the dormant volcanos.

Normally, I'd trailer my Wrangler up there and do all the exploring in it while the tow rig stays at camp. Time will tell if that makes sense for me to do with the Traveler.

Ha! I remember stopping there with my parents and sister back in junior high, but my sister and I refused to go inside and stayed in the car playing with a Ouija board (we grew out of talking to cardboard). They got us Desert Storm chocolate: it was not good and they chided us for not coming with them, as we deserved. Next time I’m driving through PA, I want to actually go inside and not be a little sullen jerk 12-year-old.

That’s how they make millions(more like billions probably) each year. My favorite part of Hershey is the Hershey Lodge, it’s like a massive town hall, with convention centers and stuff. Beside the park and chocolate.

Were those charge point chargers?

I didn’t look and realized I should have after the fact. That said @R1TVT, tell us about the green flashing “ring” around the charger door port on the Rivians. If blinking green is it still charging or done charging? Not sure my photo captured it but looking led the visual cue as we walked by. I could probably search it but figured your experience would be better to hear.

That said @R1TVT, tell us about the green flashing “ring” around the charger door port on the Rivians. If blinking green is it still charging or done charging?

Yes sir, pulsing green = charging. The light comes on when you open the charge port door, but you can configure that light to also turn off completely when you lock the truck if you want.

Also, the light bars (front and rear) do the same thing, but will automatically turn-off once locked. The Gen 2 vehicles actually use a "progress bar" light to indicate SOC:
