Spiffing Up "The Shasta"

One of the things we are looking forward to with our new (to us) white truck - is camping with Derek's trailer - it's going to be 16' of traveling fun! Derek spent a lot of last week in Lake Elsinore where his folks have kindly been housing it for the last 6 or so years! My honey worked hard in the heat to get new tires for it, etc. so that we could bring it home to Tehachapi. We thought is was "providential" that it is called "Shasta"!

So this afternoon we decided to tackle the clearing out of the trailer. There have been many boxes in it for storage - so after a bug bombing, we got to wiping out the dirt, dust and cobwebs.

Michelyn is especially proud of this drastic change - I didn't get a "before shot" picture but imagine everything covered with boxes, boxes, and more boxes. Throw in some old propane tanks and snow tires and everything from toilet paper to a love letter from one of Derek's old girlfriends and you get the idea!


Hey, the color combos may not be "hip" - but we'll work with the "retro" theme!

And this is just a random picture of 'my family' hanging out on a Sunday afternoon.

What a great little trailer. It's actually bigger than I imagined. I kinda like the "funky" retro look. It should be a lot of fun to take camping. Remember how much fun we had playing in G'ma and G'pa's camper?!
