Another new toy...

We've done a lot of camping... A LOT of camping. The progression has been a familiar one... 15 years ago we were in a 2 person Wal Mart tent. We moved up to a larger nicer tent after a few years. We experienced a lot of the local campgrounds and National Forests in the area. Then an even larger and much nicer tent which took us farther and in more comfort. Then we got a much smaller even nicer tent for backpacking and saw some really cool stuff the hard way.

The next chapter, however, is all about comfort and amenities. I'm done with digging trenches to keep the rain from washing the tent away and packing up soaking wet everything for the smelly ride home. Enter our 2007 Holiday Rambler 8310S Travel Trailer.

New Toys

The beloved and trusty Ranger has found a worthy new home. After 12+ years and 202,000 trouble free miles, it was time to say farewell. Enter the replacement... 2010 Dodge Ram 1500. Yes, it has a Hemi. It's a quad cab, 4x4, w/ 3.92 gears made for pulling. More on that later.
