The Land Yacht

Kate & I enjoyed our trip out west so much that we just went crazy and had to get us a new Toy

Our recent trip to NY included a visit to Alpin Haus RV where Kate talked me out of getting a small truck camper to put on the Pickup Truck - and instead we got this 5th wheel trailer

Lucy & Gracie stand guard

We then pulled it back to Beaufort where it currently sits outside of the house.

A few shots of the inside  (its the smallest 5th wheel that I could find)

Kate promised me (in front of the salesman) that she would bake me fresh bread every night if I bought this camper....   Time to get her some sacks of Flour I guess.

So now we are ready to head back out on the dusty trail, and share more blogging adventures with you all.   Hummmm....   I can smell that fresh bread now.

The Fine Art of.......

How to pack 20 pounds of junk into a 5 pound box.

The day came to give back the Camper. We didn't want to, but keeping it would be a Felony and we didn't like the idea of turning into Bonnie & Clyde and living life on the run - so turn it in we did.

But first we had to empty all of the stuff that we packed into the Camper into the Van.

One of the laws of Nature is that the stuff you bring on vacation tends to expand in size. This expansion increases with time. I think the exact formula works out to be:

 EndJunk = OriginalJunk x (time x 1.5)

On the way down, we had our usual space behind the front seats reserved for the Doodle Playzone.

This photo - taken while packing for the return trip shows that the doodle Playzone has now expanded into Doodle Mountain.  Now they can look over my shoulder and be back seat drivers......  great!

Then came time to finesse the last articles in the back section.   Notice the fine technique.

There..  done. 

No wait a minute.  Do I see some space next to the cooler??

OK.  Done Now!

11 Short hours later we were back home dreaming & planning our next adventure.

Next Post....   A recap of the trip.
