So, I tweaked my back yesterday, so instead of laying around being bored, I figured I could grab my buddy with the freshly rebuilt shoulder, and we could go exploring!

I LOVE exploring old sites - old farmsteads, groves where things from 100 years ago were left to rust away, that sort of thing.

Yeah, we do too. Fortunately for us nevada is filled with them. Up until a few years ago the old homesteads in Dixie Valley were pretty much untouched, abandoned 1950's vehicles were everywhere. But people went out and recovered them and some assholes knocked the old hoses down.

There are still a few out there, but they are fast disappearing. Here's one of the more complete ones

Went full circle. Got tired of climbing down the ladder at 2am to go pee. So we picked a Springbar cotton canvas tent. Its spacious at 10' x 14' its pretty quick to setup, about 15mins. But its also pretty heavy at about 90lbs. Im looking to add a winnerwell stoves to the kit for hot tent this winter. It should be fun.

We're staying in a small town more or less on the mouth of the Columbia River for a few days. Drove to Seaview to let the pup run on the beach.

It looks like the trailer is working out beautifully.

I wish. I didn’t even use our trailer this summer with all the moving clutter blocking it into the garage. We changed our minds and put it outside this week, to make more room in the garage. While I’d rather it be better protected, I think it’ll get used 10 times more now.

After this weekend I will be taking it apart so I can get the rack powdercoated by my buddy, bedline the bed, paint the exterior, and swap the heavy wheels for some ram 2500 wheels. By the spring it will have transformed. Also ill be looking to add more pieces like tool box and maybe drawer system etc depends on what deals I can find.
