Sitting in the sun enjoying the day
We had just finished lunch and were enjoying the day, when a pickup with a homemade camper pulled up to chat. An exhuberant dog jumped out of the cab and came running up to us barking Hello. His owner called him back - "Timber". Hmm . . . I thought Homemade camper, older guy, dog named Timber - I'll bet it's the famous Rusty and Timber that I've read so much about on RVSue's blog.
And, sure enough, it was. He wanted to know about Julie's trailer and showed us how he's slowly outfitting his camper. Rusty built the shell himself and is 'glassing' the outer shell for better water-proofing. He showed us inside (still a bit rough, but functional, as he completes various projects).
It was really a surprise to meet Rusty. He told us about a few of his favorite places to camp in the area (good info!) before he took off to pick up a new bigger fresh water tank for his camper.

Great photo of Rusty, Anne.... I enjoyed this post very much. Thank you. Sue
ReplyDeleteHe sent his regards - and i know he bought his big water tank from your link on Amazon 😊
DeleteI think He was interested in our trailers because they are both small fiberglass like yours
How neat to have crossed paths with Rusty and Timber!

It was very cool!! He has had such an interesting life - and he sounds just like his comments read on RVSues blog. He was very proud (justifiably) at the functionality that he's squeezed into his camper, How efficient everything is - and most of all, that he can stand full height inside!
DeleteHow wonderful that you got to meet Rusty and Timber!
ReplyDeleteHe's an open minded, gracious guy. I do enjoyed meeting him. And for once, i remembered to get a picture - i knew i was going tho post something about meeting him!
DeleteThe world just keeps getting smaller--I'm envious that you got to meet these 2 fine gentlemen!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at how small the world can be down here- even though the desert is vast!
DeleteI'm traveling with a friend and through her, I've met the folks from Tecnomadia; i went tho 'bloggerfest' in Quartzite last week and met a ton of bloggers that i follow - that was way fun too!
