Today, 04/10, Northbound Highway 99, central California... Just south of Galt @ about 10:15 AM a Cute Casita pushing a white tug. I was headed SOUTH on the freeway and only caught it out of the corner of my eye, and by the time it registered, was too far behind me to notice the rig... if not pickup then an SUV.

At the risk of digging myself into a deeper hole, I just thought it was great that a possible widow had not given up camping but was continuing to do it alone. Have met several recently in that situation and enjoyed hearing how they do it and where they go. Good attitudes on their part.

Ouch!!! My shins hurt. I have camped for over seventy years and am still going strong. Hope to be in the Nevada desert this spring and then on to eastern Oregon for some looking around. Don't kick too hard. Ha, Ha, I think I can take it. I really like to "tune in" to this forum in the morning, it is full of good tips, good camping spots, good laughter, etc. Be sure to flash your lights when you go by. Marg in NW CA

Yeah, those 3 axle Airstreams are pretty disturbing

The Toureg, on the other hand, is a quite capable tow vehicle with about a 7700 lb tow rating.

Today WE were headed SOUTHBOUND on Highway 99 going thru Elk Grove Calif with our Scamp 5er about 1:45

YOU were a Casita headed NORTHBOUND.

We were headed home to Galt... after a mid-weekend trip up in the northern part of the state.

Where were YOU headed???????????

Today, I saw a Casita heading east toward Madison Junction in Yellowstone National Park.

I saw a Casita (same one?) in Bozeman today--I was working so just caught a glimpse of it as it went by! Spring fever!!!

Sheryl · 04-25-2012, 06:35 PM

Forgot to mention that I saw a 13 ft'r, two-tone tan I think, over the weekend, heading west out of Bozeman. Older Scamp, Boler or the like... Have fun!

Wed. afternoon, spotted a Scamp (?16') pulled by a red pu on highway 299. You were headed east between Blue Lake and Willow Creek, CA. Happy trails!!! Marg

Has anyone seen the movie Cabin In The Woods? I think that was a Boler about 15-20 minutes in to the movie.

13' Scamp Teddy Roosevelt Park. Would have taken the 5ver out but didn't want to fight the wind.

About 5 to 10 minutes into the movie there was a scene where the unsuspecting, good looking teenagers stop at a gas station and the creepy gas station attendent had a fiberglass camper of some kind sitting in the trees. It was a quick blur but it was there. That was the most exciting part of the movie I might add. Or maybe it was when each of the teen -agers were killed off one at a time in order of how naughty they were. Hmmmmm have we seen that one before?
