Me, too! And I'm bringing Stella...
I'm heading down to Logan for the LRRH on June 2, bringing a young coworker who needs whuppin into shape. I'm planning to tow my Airstream down to the RV resort on Thursday and Friday nights, then hightailing it back home Saturday after the ride (work Sundays...)
Yellow was nice enough to show me to the Kura Door last time I was in town, and it was heavenly. She was also nice enough to rescue me from freezing in the Airstream after a window blew out, but that's another story for another time ... and she helped me name the 1967 camper Stella, and she's had nary a mishap since.
Anybody who wants s'mores, we'll have a campfire and s'mores....
(pic of me and my sis in San Fran after a hella road trip, but Yellow helped make it all better in Salt Lake...)
