It's the American Dream on wheels. And the dream keeps getting bigger.
Our neighbors, Tom and Sandy, started out experimenting with a small sport trailer in 2008 to see if they enjoyed the camping trailer experience. They took it around the state and elsewhere, with a dream to visit every state park in Minnesota.
They've had a lot of fun since and so this spring they decided to jump in all the way. They sold their old pal to a gal who lost her Scamp in an accident. Yesterday they brought home their new Element, a bigger and heavier model (they've bumped up the size of their tow vehicle as well). Tomorrow they head out on their two-day shakedown cruise to Sibley Park.

We wished them many happy miles, then looked up the old gag photo we took in April of 2008 featuring Kathleen's VW giving the Scamp a tow. Here it is.
