And so...this is what we have been doing the last few moths besides working. And visiting our sweet lil' grandson. And spending time with family and friends. Yep.
Soon, Hubby became a master of many things like fiberglassing, wordworking, trailer electrical and plumbing, not to mention propane gas line installation. Here is a picture of us camping at the Columbia Gorge that I have to keep in my thoughts when I begin to doubt why we are doing all of this. In fact, it was this trip where we found we had something wrong with the tires. Or brakes. Or axle. Hmmm....we replaced them all soon after this trip because, well, we had the floor out anyways and we didn't want our new floor to burn if they needed to weld a new axle in at a later date. It was over 30 years old after all and you know how those things go. At least for us!
Here he is, with our new fantastic fan and water tank in. He is wiring in the new converter which was needed because we did not have one and the DC lights in the trailer would not work on the last trip, they just got dimmer and dimmer and finally went out. Good thing we had electricity at the campground there was a nearby Walmart to get a little electric lamp!
So here is is, the end of June with school out and we are FINALLY getting things put back in. We now have the appliances almost in and are getting ready to take it down a window company to see about getting new windows in the front and back. So the thought of being able to go Scamping again is super exciting and another exciting event will be my DIG field school trip with my sweet teacher friend, Jody, to Montana where we will learn to dig for fossils from experts from the University of Washington. The place we are going to is Hell Creek and there have been fossils of a tyrannosaurus rex and a triceratops found as well as fossils of other animals. It is going to be another learning journey for me!
