IMG_4881 The Del-Ray tuck camper is officially DONE! Well, Kim is going to make curtains , but it’s “campable” now. New cushions , new water system , bathroom re-skinned, toilet working , new mattress, fridge checked, windows and roof re-sealed and caulked. The GMC, designated beast of burden has new dually hubcaps, there’s a complete new stainless exhaust waiting to go under it, so other than the steer horns going on and plow frame coming off, it’s ready to go. We’re ready for adventure!

Yesterday I got groceries, hitched the Spartan to the Diamond T and got all packed and ready to go when Kim got home. The forcast called for rain, but it was a very pleasant fall day under partly cloudy skies.

We landed, got set up and had great evening, fixed a nice thick Porterhouse and roasted vegetables for dinner. Still no rain.

During the night however, the odds caught up with us and we got rain in buckets. We awoke to the awning down, and somehow rainwater ran in the rear door frame and wet the floor by the bed.

The awning is back up, the puddle at the foot of the bed mopped up and clothespin in the rain gutter above the back door is diverting a stream of water away from the door frame. All is well.
