Awesome pictures. I love home improvements but I never thought about mobile
home improvements (Sounds like a title for a new sitcom).

Subject: [GeoStL] NGR: Our "Antique" Camper Pictures
Because "you" (some) asked, here are a few (ok .. 111) pictures of the
refurbing and first outing(s) of our 1967 Thunderbird Camper. The subtitle
for this set of pictures could also be, from my husband's point of view,
"How I Spent My Unemployed Summer Vacation". This is not how *I* envisioned
we'd spend an unemployed summer, but it did keep him out of the house for a
few hundred hours. Yes.. few HUNDRED. He and his (also unemployed)
friend, under the direct supervision of any number of neighbors with any
number of cold beverages, sandwiches and snacks, at any given time, spent
all of June, July and part of August in our driveway, deconstructing,
reconstructing and inhaling any number of dangerous fumes and particulates.
Sunrise - to Sunset. Stopping only for the occasional pool break. It was
also a great excuse to buy a few new toys.
I've also included a few pictures of the waiting-for-a-name little camper in
its spots on our trips. We've "lived" in this for a total of 3 weeks -- 17
of those days were with a big, furry dog (he got a trip to a Michigan
groomer half way through the big trip lol).
I think it's taken me just as long to sort through pictures as it took him
to refurbish it.
Also, keep in mind, if you ever see us her in person, we HAVE lived in it
non stop for 3 weeks -- we could use a bit more maintenance already.

Before starting this project, I had no idea that "Vintage Campers" were so
"popular". "Vintage Trailers" is to Camping as geocaching is to the
outdoors. A bit underground and edgy with many email lists devoted to it.
