Website

I really have intentions of getting the website up and running...but I am just so freaking busy. I think I might create a facebook group too... as I seem to have time for that.

Finger Lakes Tin Can Tourist Rally

I am going to the Fingler Lakes Tin Can Rally this fall. Sorry I didn't post earlier..as it is sold out. You can still come to the park and walk around though. The 2nd Annual Rally will be held September 17-20th at Samspson State Park in Romulus, New York. The event is coordinator by the great Fletch who owns Fletcher's Trailer's in Trumansburg, NY...a great resource for tin cans.

Devil's Tombstone

In July I went to Devil's Tombstone which sits at the foot of Hunter Mountain in the Catskills (the second highest peak in the Catskills). It is a really basic campground that really only serves as a basecamp for hikers. There is no electric here at all, not even in the bathrooms, which are not flush toilets. I think if I want to hike here next summer I would go to North-South Lake Campground. The road the divides this campground is a bit noisy.

My sister's Shasta

My sister loved my trailer so much, she went out and got her own tin can. She got hers on Ebay for about $400. I love the color's she chose. It is a 16 foot and it is amazing how big it is because it is taller. Hers is a 1964. She came up to Rollins Pond as well. She didn't have one of the nice lake front sites.

Rollins Pond 2009

I have just been too busy camping and no time for blogging. This summer I have been travelling almost every other weekend. I just got back last weekend from my long trip to Rollins Pond in the Adirondacks. It was a great week, despite the pup getting a cold (kennel cough) and being unalble to hike up the big mountains. It doesn't make for a idyllic looking site, but I tarped over my awning and screen room, as the rains can be bad in the Dacks. It does keep a larger area dry.

New this summer

This summer I have done a few things. I had my hitch and electric installed by U-haul. Well, U-haul spliced the wires to install the electric..and it failed after about a year. Well it wasn't so apparent, but i had to have my mechanic fix it. They got the plug in harness for my car and repaired the splice.

The water carrier on wheels is awesome. It is the envy of many at the water spigot. I have city water, but I mainly camp at sites without electric or water.

I installed 12v light fixture that I got at vintage trailer over the dinette. I had the mount where a gas lamp usually goes. I decided to go with electric because I really run most items on a solar power charged deep cell battery. It is great to have another light.

I finally installed a grommet so I have a third pole on my awning. Works much better.

Busy, busy, busy...

Oh I have been negligent to the site, but I have been camping in the Catskills!
