Cool Retro Camping - The Sequel

After the shakedown of the trailer 2 weeks ago we took a 250 mile round trip. Stayed in the Northern Sierras about 80 miles north of Tahoe. Beautiful Place! Truck (with the 3.73:1 gears) pulled great! And the trailer towed well - except for losing air in one tire after setting up. And this time the lights worked!!

"I shoulda brought long pants" Yea, that's me...


My Wonderful wife and her trusty sidekick, Tempus. (Horse Camping)


High pasture camping. This was across the stream from our camp.


Can't wait to go camping again!!

Man I miss the Sierras. That’s the one thing I miss about living in California, the Rockies are ok but nothing compares to the Eastern Sierras especially around Bishop.

We had 3 couples go up. They trailered 3 Horses in the rig below. None of us guys ride. So, we drank, hiked and talked about fishing. (I love Bloody Mary's when camping - but they cut into fishing time!)

Aaah, that makes sense. I just didn't see the horse riding in the retro wagon...
