We upgraded to the 1972 Coleman popup from the Eureka dome tent in 2002 after Jonah woke up one morning at the break of dawn, unzipped the tent door, and crept out into the early morning. His wet sock feet against my face woke me up. He had fortunately decided to come back inside the tent. We opted for something with a locking door to prevent future mornings of wet sock feet against our faces.
One wouldn't expect the Coleman popup to have much, and it doesn't, including a crapper, or hot water, or a refrigerator. It is basically an old canvas tent on wheels. But it is really awesome and retro, and we have loved camping in it. But again, no crapper or hot water. So this year we opted for another upgrade to a travel trailer. It might be the most I've ever paid for a crapper and a hot shower, but it was worth it!

And here it is sitting at the river. It looks small in this picture, but we think it is the perfect size. It is 29 foot long with a bunkhouse in the back. The boys get their own bedroom with two extra bunks for friends.

| It was cold in the middle of April, but the camper has a heater that will run you out of it! |

| The camper in the middle of May, with everything looking much warmer. |

| And Stella loves it too...Its the only time she gets to sleep in our beds! |
During our most recent trip, Rowan got out of the river, cold and
covered in mud, and momma put him in the shower. He got out of the
shower and said with a big grin, "I love this camper!"
