An adventure awaits!!

 I have been greatly looking forward to some vacation time and it is FINALLY here!!

We go camping for a week every year in the Adirondacks.  We are trying out a new camping area this year.  We have always camped in a tent.  But we've gotten *cough* a little older we have been talking about getting a camper instead.  Not one of those honking huge homes on wheels but just a nice little one to make sleeping more comfortable and to have better refuge if and when it rains.

2 years ago it was cold with DOWNPOURS and it flooded our campsite.  The water leaked into our tent and EVERYTHING got wet - the dog's bed, my sneakers, parts of our pillows, etc.  It was MISERABLE.

I have a small SUV and we tow our kayaks on a trailer.  But it doesn't have very much tow capacity so we have been casually looking for a used pop-up.  It is surprising how much those suckers weigh!!  But yesterday I looked and there was a small pop-up under 1,000 pounds about 45 minutes away. It is old and didn't look in the best of shape but Marc started emailing the guy and he decided to go look at it today.

The canvas has some rips but the frame, roof, wheels and all the important things were in great condition, as well as the cabinets and cushions (surprisingly).  He made them an offer and got it for DIRT cheap.   So he brought her home!

 He spent today lubing everything as well as patching the canvas where the holes are (we will be white trash for sure LOL) and using some old screen patches to cover those holes as someone had just stuck duct tape there.  

He brought his lunch out and invited the dogs in.  Sisko went right in but Booker needed to be convinced.  But once it, it took them mere minutes to jump up onto one of the beds and chill out.  

I am so excited about this trip!

It will be Booker's first time camping.  I have identified a couple of mountains that we want to climb and we are camping right on a lake so I am hoping there will be a lot of swimming, playing and kayaking.
