    The "Dew Drop Inn" Chronicles

    Whew! It's hot. Is it hot where all ya'll are? We are loving our most recent addition to Dizzy's gear, an Endless Breeze 12 volt fan from the folks at Fan-Tastic Vent to help beat the heat. Did I mention that it's 12 volt, so you can plug it into any cig light outlet you may have...

    The "Dew Drop Inn" Chronicles

    I was cruising through Port Townsend today on my trusty #bikefriday when I came across a homegrown son/daughter, that's right a teardrop travel trailer built right here in PT. ( not only are teardrops attracted to the Peninsula, they are born here! ) Jon the owner/ builder also owns a...

    The "Dew Drop Inn" Chronicles

    If there was ever a place within the lower 48 where you can camp beneath the giants and still be within a stones throw of this spectacular western coastline, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot than Deception Pass State Park on Whidbey Island WA. The sites here are from an old...

    I am not sure I didn't screw up a bit.

    Exactly, if you mirror polish a patch you have to keep going until the whole of the trailer is the same, of course I have seen trailers that have just the hatch mirrored or say the doors and that looks way cool too! Michael

    I am not sure I didn't screw up a bit.

    Mirror is good, having to finish the whole trailer the same way is bad or good if you get it finished. Michael

    Joshua Tree?

    Our dog Fred was very well traveled, he always came with us, we never boarded him, well just that once (what a disaster that was, he never had fleas till we boarded him, didn't do that again) heck he was our excuse for a road trip "Fred needs an outing" He camped at the Grand Canyon 3 times...
