Day 346 - A new Retro camper!

She's a 1968 Shasta Starflyte...and she's our new family recreational vehicle! She needs a bit of a scrub and maybe some fresh paint, and the interior could use some bleach and fresh paint and curtains, but I am rather thrilled with out soon-to-be camper that sleeps 5.

I was getting rather tired of using our compact camper that only sleeps 2 adults (3 children, LOL), and taking along the tent for my husband and me to sleep in. I was actually okay sleeping in the tent...until my husband woke one night startled at the sound he was hearing just outside our tent flaps. I thought we were going to get mauled by a grizzly bear right then and there! I nearly wet myself. And the rest of the night, I didn't sleep a wink.

So with this newer, larger retro camper, we can ALL sleep inside the camper. No need to fear the grizzlies in this!

We'll be traveling to Bonners' Ferry, Idaho, up near the Canadian border, on Sunday. We'll pick up our new family member and drive the 6 hours back to Helena. It should be a beautiful trip! Mountains and lakes...territory I've never seen in Idaho before.

I'm looking forward to having this new camper so we can now go to Yellowstone and Glacier to camp. Couldn't before. Can't camp in a tent in grizzly country. Well, you CAN...but you shouldn't.

Thank you, Lord, for leading us to this gem of a recreational vehicle! I am thrilled! My girls are thrilled! My husband is thrilled! I look forward to spending more family time camping in God's Country.
