Nimbl Vehicles
Gandalf the Grey
Had a fun last trip in XPCamper #2 before it goes to its new owner.
On Friday, Toni, KC and Gandalf took off to go to Upper Lake and then onto Bear Creek. I discovered that area about 10 years ago and it is a cool place to Explore More!
We had perfect weather the first day and had a few water crossings( ) to get to my special campsite.
Low trees and rough roads were part of the deal. So are the pretty flowers.
The second day was a wet one and rained pretty much all day.
We had fun watching Indiana Jones in the camper, making some yummy snacks and enjoying the scenery.
The third day was something we didn’t expect as we took the trail from Bear Creek over to Letts Lake. Snow!
With the Snow came Mud ( ), plenty of it..
Since I know that terrain pretty well we went over the mountains to the ”other side." I did take the “safe” route by staying on M10. While there are other trails I wanted to take, it wasn’t a wise decision to do it with one rig in this kind of weather.
It was a fun and unexpected kind of weather trip, but that’s what it is all about.
We carried about 70 gallons of H2O, a full fridge and plenty of beer.
It was nice to take a hot shower after a day of traveling in the mud and snow.
Now back to work and back to building campers.
