Girlfriends With Trailers, Ready to Roll (Almost)
My friend Shelley B. doesn't just keep her horse Corky at our place.
She also keeps her 1953 aluminum Aljoa travel trailer here, too. It spends the winter in a covered bay, next to my 1968 Oberlin with built-in fins.
Today, both of these rolling vintage gals with facelifts came out of storage to be rediscovered, cleaned, and packed up for our first mutual campout of the year.
Make that long-awaiting first campout of the year. We've had this outing carved in stone on our calendars since before Christmas.
Destination: somewhere on the Salmon River, roughly between White Bird and Riggins, Idaho.
Weekend home-0n-wheels happiness, here we come.

Looks like great fun! The trailer are so cute! You guys dont have too much fun now !!
I was so hoping I would win the pink trailer so I could join you, but 'twas not to be.
Oh, have a great time! Sounds like a blast!
Ahh sounds so fun! My first weekend camping won't come till may.
But my first weekend show is this weekend - so I too am excited! I was doing the exact same thing last night with my horse trailer.
Mmmm, I'm so jealous!! That's got to beautiful where you're going, although a tad bit COLD this time of year. But I know you'll have fun!
You are going to be so lucky with the weather. That sounds like so much more fun than stall building and cleaning. Will be thinking of you as I hammer my fingers.
Stall building/cleaning is a good thing too! Just in a different way.
It's just so great for the chance to be outside and not miserable, no matter what the activity!
Oh...I want one!!! I think these cute little trailers are making a huge comeback. They are just too cool. And you don't need a one-ton to pull them - although I do love my dually.
Do you have water & heat?
I know I don't have to tell you to have a great time! Watch out for those bears! :)
We have water and heat.
Plus featherbeds, and a few other girlie luxuries.
The great thing about the little vintage trailers is that they were made to keep you warm and snug for a more primitive form of camping than what you see in today's developed RV parks. Perfect for exploring some of the public lands that make up Idaho. They run on propane and 12V batteries when there is no access to electricity.
Oh how I want a little trailer like those! Sisters on the Fly! Maybe someday...
Have a fun trip!
Now that is what I call a great vacation.
Blessings in Him,
Siesta OC
“In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and He answered me by setting me free."
Psalm 118:5
Wahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I wanna go!!!
but alas, my trailer still looks like a giant spider web of wood! Gary is making head way & has the 'kitchen' side all re-framed & braced...he is out in the Man cave tonight working. Hopefully he will have the 'door side' done over the weekend. I keep telling him I will buy another one for June's outting if he doesn't get this done in time...but he isn't intimidated, infact he is already thinking about what the next one will be...we'll have "His -n-Her's" trailers! lol!
Have a wonderful time, bring along a nice bottle of wine & just relax.
