Travis' Trails: July 2013

Monday, July 29, 2013. What do you call camping, but in a glamorous and stylish way? Don't feel bad. I didn't know it either until the weekend of May 9 thru 12. We camped in a place called Warren Dunes, in Sawyer, Michigan. It turns out that Jules' way of camping has an official name. She has been camping all decked out like this since 2007, when she first got Bob the Burger. Now we find out that there is an actual term that identifies our way of camping. Glamping. I think. Over The Top Fun Camping.

Saturday, June 7, 2014. Montello Vintage Trailer Rally - 2013 (post-Jun '14). Welcome back to the wonders of Wisconsin! That is what the locals would like us non-native visitors to think. I knew that folks that live in Wisconsin (cheeseheads) don't really like folks from Illinois (flat-landers), I just never really knew why. What I learned during this trip into Wisconsin is that the rivalry goes back to the 1920s, when I was a young sprout. Plus you get to meet the rookies of the rally. Big Bill really g...

Of course, since they are going, yours truly is going too! Joni said that they were going out to dinner afterwards too. Can it get any better? Chillin' with Brock and Heath AND riding on trains! Brock is a huge fan of tr...

Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Our Vintage Campers- Before and After. I must apologize to you my readers and followers. I thought I had a fairly good handle on my blog. Not so much. Let me tell you a small secret that I learned from Norm; '. If Jules suggests something, a smart man will take that suggestion, make it his own idea and run with it.'. In the very beginning. A leaky, soggy floored, ugly duckling looking to be a swan. Well, a tired vintage camper waiting for Jules' to give it a new life. This is wher...

Monday, June 22, 2015. Ilean: Farewell my friend, Rest in Pieces. Yes, Ilean was a charmer. However, looks can be deceiving. She unfortunately just got real tired and too sick to save. So, Jules and Norm decided to let her "Rest in Pieces" and have a party while making it happen. This is Big Shirley. I know, what has that got to do with Ilean? Since Ilean became a problem girl we had to do something for a bathroom at Aluminum Acres. Hence, Big Shirley. Home made picnic tables; Thanks Kyle and Kate! The s...

Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Big Bill's Injury - October 2012. As many know, Big Bill was seriously injured at the Woodstock Vintage Trailer Rally. This picture was taken a mere second or two before the accident. We were participating in the Progressive Cocktail and Appetizer Party. This was the hippie themed pod and was second to the last. Meaning that Big Bill, me and Norm all had been consuming "a few" tasty beverages. Norm yelled, "Aw, shucks! We immediately jumped into action. Picking up the piece...
