Sand Mountain Bound! Quick trip to Antelope and just looking :)

 Hello! Just a quick catch up as we've got places to go! LOL. Tomorrow morning we'll head for Sand Mountain NV to do some CanAm riding and people watching! 😊 Actually it's a good excuse to get Ken away from the work around here and have a little fun, bonus, I get to have fun too! 😊




It's just a short trip and we'll be back on Monday. Sand Mountain is only about an hour and a half from here. Being Father's Day weekend, there should be quite the crowd there. 

Russell called Wednesday night and asked if they could borrow our Jeep Patriot for a while. Aaron got T Boned out in Roseville and heard this morning they totaled his car. 😞 It was a really nice Kia. This morning a little after 0600 Ken headed out in the Tundra and I followed in the Patriot. A quick one day turnaround to drop off the car. We got home around 1500. 

Aaron's Senior Trip to Disneyland
and that's not Kenna, even though
at first sight we thought it was..

What a great group of kids! 


Ken finished his part of getting the motorhome ready (Nellie) and I finished up my part. WE're ready to roll in the am. 

Yesterday Ken had a lung test so we were in Carson City. Once the test was done (he did well) we decided to stop by Custom Trucks and take a look at a pop up camper. We thought it'd be nice for when we're pulling our car hauler full of stuff. More to the story, but not sharing yet. 

Well, they sure aren't like they used to be, small and compact. Nope, pretty darn elegant inside and the price reflects that! More than we paid for the mansion. It was fun looking, but we both agreed we'd never get our $$'s worth. On to another plan! 


This unit had a small bathroom with a shower, which is the 
unit I would have wanted, but not for near $30,000! 😱

Have a great night, it's Happy Hour time! 🍺🍸

  3. We had a nice truck camper after the tent trailer, before our first fifth wheel. It was compact and good for weekend trips but, yah, in 2012 it was less than 6,000. Prices are crazy now.

    1. We had our little SixPac we bought in 2005 and we loved it, thats why it's sitting permanently here at home hooked to septic system. Too many good memories to let her go! :)

  4. Wow, T Boned is not fun. Glad all is well.
    Prices are ridiculous for just about everything these days. Soon we will all be sitting and watching everything around us instead of participating due to the high cost of buying anything, even fuel.
    Enjoy your get away!!
