My traveling setup

This is what I used to travel over 2300 from Las Vegas to Denver and spirited driving:

It is a mont blanc roof rack, and a cheap cargo carrier from Pep boys.

Roof rack $200.00
Cargo Carrier $105.00
attachment hardware $20.00

2-3 major rainstorms everything stayed dry. I need to modify a board to help support the cargo carrier as I had to drill new holes so it would sit on the rack. It would start to sag after several hours in the center so I made sure to keep the heavy parts of my load at the ends of the cargo carrier.

This is at the continental divide on Berthoud Pass, Colorado.
