    What a beautiful spot! Love that you stopped setting up to take in the beauty around you! Like Jean said...priorities! Will continue to look forward to your posts and photos! I gather from this forum, once a teardropper, always a teardropper!

    Ok, now you have the Lad in tears (and not teardrops). First, no Katie this year, and now no Frank? He is starting to think this whole Mossyrock thing might not be as fun! We are going to miss you so you will have to come in your new rig when you have it. I know he is a kid, but you have a fan.

    Hope to keep up with you on the forum, and hope to camp with you again in the future.

    Michael, already have her in mind, but working on "Lit'l Nell" first, since she'll be the next toy right after the truck.

    Lit'l Nell will be something along this line, modified to fit in with the other "Lovely Ladies", My assistants... heheh..

    Trying to retry the "Blog" thing... renamed to

    fpoole's Roam'n ROG Blog for Prineville, OR trip.

    Bitter Sweet, but a good trip overall..
    Jenn: Yep... ;-((

    Thanks Jenn...
    I was a good memory and I'm glad I have it...
    Luv'd those little TDs... they will always have a special place...

    See you on the road...

    (It's going in for 'detailing' tomorrow.. I don't even recognize it after "De flocking" it by removing the decals off...

    Careful! I will hold you to that! :)
    Besides, the Lad won't be a K forever (seems he is growing up faster and faster! He is almost 4'3 now!). It will make that whole BKT thing much easier on you. Plus, the way he is going, if you need any engine work, he will be able to help you out! Little smarty pants, that one, and with a dad for an engineer, they build all sorts of stuff. Just a matter of time before he starts racing cars I think too. This hair will get whiter and whiter, I just know it!

    I mis-posted over on Jay's post regarding Blogs... apologies Jay... it was your thread...

    Anyway, just and FYI, I am trying to run a "Blog" over on my website:
    www. poolesweb.com as the
    ROG's Blog (Retired Old Geezer/Goat)

    While I'll still post the important trip locations, the rest will be over there...

    fun...

    FYI Update: The "Beast"... heheh, there's just no other way to describe it.

    Got the truck
    Step 1 (of 5) - Truck = Done
    Yaaaaawn, I know, I know, you're just as tired of seeing this as I am of posting, but this step is done, no more. A real shaker on the bumpy roads and can't wait to put a load on it.

    Step 2 - Flatbed - install Labor day..

    Step 3 = Approved & Waiting for Delivery of the Camper apx 20th or so

    Then hitting the road to Moab, UT

    End of Sept, is looking good.

    fun... Monday

    Congrats. Frank. Love the "Monster". Has a Ram 1500 for years and loved every minute. Can't wait to see the final result.

    Nice. We were just through Moab earlier this month - great area, and looks like a fun town to explore.
    Good luck with the build-out.
