On The Road Again!

So last week Jody & I drove to Mapleton, Utah to pick up our new to us travel trailer. It's a 2021 Lance model 1985. That was the last year the family owned company built them prior to being taken over by Thor, who now owns most of the travel trailer brands.

We took our time "cruising" back to Northern California, stopping in Winnamucca, Nevada, and the second night dry-camping under the stars on the top of the Sierra's along the Little Truckee River.

It's just like cruising on our boat, but less chance of sinking!

Pssst! This stuff's Available!
