Re: 2023 Estelline Trip
Starting to plan several days In the Rockies this summer. Inviting everyone in reach to meet me there. Lots of friends and family. Will spend a night or two at friends. And...sleep in the van a night or two.
Best part? Fishing and lying around the camp fire. Life is good.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

That truck and fiver are looking good. I don’t recall how old they are but I believe you have mentioned they both are very “experienced”. They both look to be pristine from this distance.

I drove to Middlebury and picked up the camper at the Sunnybrook factory on Halloween day of 2005 .... I think the truck is a 2007 model .... they have shared many a mile bouncing down the road since them

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: 2023 Estelline Trip
more pre-trip items checked off ....
1. both camper fridges defrosted and cleaned .... the big one really needed defrosting, I've never seen as much ice on the freezer sections walls
2. Green Mountain Davy Crockett grill accessories removed from camper's basement
3. all truck systems checked and seem to be OK
