THE CAMPER

Hello All. Not much has been happening in the last couple of months as we are just waiting until March and total retirement. Our first major trip after March is going to be Alaska and as we do not want to take our 5th wheel up there we had decided the best method would be a truck camper. Therefore the reason for this portion of the blog. We have a truck camper.

We purchased a used 2002 Lance on ebay and then we had to go to Frankfort, Michigan to pick it up. It was a nice supprise to arrive and find out the camper was everything it was advertised to be. It has hardly been used and is very good shape. The plan is to use the camper on more rugged territory and for dry camping where there are no campsites.

We had to pick the camper up in upper Michigan in a town called Frankfort. We arrived on a Saturday morning and met with George and Kathy Sorenson, two very nice people who were selling the camper for their dad. It was not a good time for them as their Dad had recently passed away but still they gave us all the time we needed to learn and understand everything about the camper. George and Kathy if you read this, our thoughts and prays are with you both.

The town of Frankfort is on the east side of Lake Michigan and has a fantastic little harbor. Unfortunately it was a rainy and foggy day so I did not get any real good pictures. The drive up to Michigan was an exercise in endurance as we drove 710 on a Thursday and the balance of the trip (550 miles ) was done on Friday. Most of Friday was driven through torrential rain and at time was quite scary. We spent Saturday working on the camper to get it ready for travel and then headed home on Sunday.
