About Us

Welcome to our blog of our 2013 trip. We Have been camping since our honeymoon. Each summer we take a trip to a new part of our country. We try to stop at local fairs & festivals, take tours of manufacturing plants, do a little kayaking, and try to get an up close look at how people live! Join us! This Bog runs from our most recent post backwards. At the end of this year,I have left the past years blog. Double click on any picture to get a larger image. These are all low res versions. If you see one you really like, let me know and I'll send you a better image.

Tues, Wed Aug 10,11

We headed for Elkhart Indiana, the home of the RV industry. Two years ago we visited here to do plant tours and try to sort out the differences in 5th Wheels that people use for extended traveling like we've been doing. Last year we visited twice,once for emergency repairs on our trailer due to tour tire blowout, and once again at the end for the final repairs when they had gathered together all of the parts. This year the age of our 5 the wheel had started to wear on us a good bit on this trip, so we decided to spend a day visiting Carriage, the manufacturer we believe builds a trailer that will holdup better under extended use.
The photo left is a possible look at the back of the trailer, door on my left, kitchen on my right. We'd probably move the furniture around or take a piece out, and may opt for lighter wood. Lots of options. We need a new truck to tow it, and this will set us back several pretty pennies. Our unit is 7 years old this year, and while we love the floor plan, we think it's time to to think seriously agbout this.
Maybe next year.
Thursday we head to Liz's moms house, to see her family.
