    Well, I wish we had a bigger camper... but just have a pop-up now. Somehow as the kids got bigger, and the big dog decided she loved camping too... the camper just keeps getting smaller. One of our state parks we go to has a mtb trail I can actually do without killing myself lol... and a road route of a bike club just outside the park. So nice because I take both my bikes for fun without one feeling neglected lol. The kids also get more safe bike time when we camp with the traffic rules inside the family campground area (vs. the crazies that speed through our subdivision at home).

    We have a pop-up, which is great for tooling around locally, but after a few out west trips it's suffering from a few lost parts in south Dakota, and wear and tear. They tend to do that. last summer we put all our camping stuff in a small trailer and stayed in Koa camping cabins. It was a little expensive, but we were in bear country and we felt protected, and it was easier to haul than the pop-up, and easier to set up camp. We have been camping long enough to have a pretty good routine set up to "move in" to a camp site.

    Here is a photo of our 2001 Damon Intruder. This was taken at Flagg Ranch Resort, a campground in between Yellowstone NP and Grand Teton NP. It's a small stretch of land not owned by the National park system.





    I'll have to get some interior photos soon......

    Trek Chick-
    Did you catch the view of the Tetons rising up out of the sagebrush prairie from highway 89? I will never forget that as long as I live. No words could have ever conveyed to me how beautiful that was. I hope to see it that way again. A really cool trip would be to stop at all the national parks from highway 89. Glacier, Yellowstone, Tetons to name a few.

    We have a truck camper that we rebuilt last summer. This year we plan to take some short trips around the state. Hartwick Pines might be the first. Eventually we plan to drive all the way to Alaska with it. My BF made that trip 4 years ago. I can't wait for my turn!
