I love to camp.
I no longer love to sleep on the ground in a sleeping bag.
I’m wanting a camper. A retro-looking pull-behind. Somethin’ like this:
Super cute — right up my alley. And hey, it’s RED! I liked the turquoise one, too, but the red one really stood out.
So, the reason I bring this up is that #1, my sister and I are meeting up with Sisters On The Fly (I’m Sister #9927) this weekend at Pere Marquette State Park in Godfrey, IL for our first Sisters event of the season. Many of the gals have CUUUUUUUUUUUTE trailers, which gives me and my sister serious camper-envy. #2 is that last night, while over-imbibing on Dulce Vita Lime Tequila (over ice with lime sparkling water), I was cranking tunes (in my ear buds) from the late-60’s/early-70’s and thinkin’ …. “hey, I could have a camper called the Tin Can Time Machine!! A hippie camper! How cool would THAT be!” I dunno, maybe it was just the Lime Tequila, but I loved the idea. I missed out on being a Flower Child (I was born in 1962), but dayum! I love my Mamma’s and Pappa’s! California Dreaming! Creque Alley! Monday Monday! I would tye-dye up some blankets and curtains, have a couple of macramé hangers with plants in them (fake plants …), peace signs, puka shells ………. I can so see it in my mind.
Maybe I just need to find a VW camper van ………………
Born in 1962? I was born in 1954 now that’s over the hill!
Better to be over the hill than under it!

I love those little campers! But, I’ve graduated a bit up from them over the years.
We just picked up our 5th wheel last weekend. It’s our 3rd camper. Probably not our last 😉
The added luxury is not for us, but for our 2 border collies… Nothing but the best for them! 😂🤣

Camper envy is a terrible thing. Go for it! A hippie reboot sounds perfect… I missed flower power as well (b. 1963).
Pick me up on your way!

Ah…I love how you’re such a fun and carefree wanderlust dreamer! I hope you get that RV someday! Have you read Cindi’s blog before? She’s retired, so I take notes since I’m not there yet. But they bought an RV and saved themselves lots of $ for traveling. If you get a chance, check out her blog. https://diaryofamadretiree.wordpress.com/2019/04/05/biggest-indicator-of-a-successful-retirement-your-lifestyle/

I’ve never wanted to go camping, but I love that hippie van! I’d like to drive it around. My teens was in the 60s so I remember all that good stuff. 🙂
