We camped in Frolic for the first time. It's officially done.

 I finally got Frolic on the road, so that means that it is basically done. Do you ever really finish with these sorts of things? Today is Monday. I got Frolic off the blocks and took it out for a ride on Saturday. I needed to burnish the new brakes and I wanted to see how it pulled. The last time it was moved was when it came here from Mt. Nebo WV. I was in the truck, but my friend who helped me out did the driving. Everything seemed good. Last night we (Kathy and I) did an overnight at Douthat State Park, a campground about 20 miles from here. We took notes on what we had forgotten, and what we need to diddle with, but basically, everything worked fine. Here are some pictures and comments of/about the trailer when I got it and what it is now.    I found the trailer looking at Criag's List. It was sitting on blocks in a back yard in Mt. Nebo WV. At the time, I was living in Guam. With the help of some friends from my church, I was able to put new tires on it and drag it ...

No pictures, but . . .

 We continue to move toward the finish line. Kathy has the cushions all upholstered. The flooring is down. The shoe moulding, and a couple of other pieces of moulding that were "waiting" are now in place. There was a lot of fancy cutting and fitting involved, but it looks pretty good. I painted the entrance step with some pickup truck bed liner spray. Still remaining: Get the AC mounted in the rear window. There is some touch-up paint, in and out. Give everything a good clean and shine for the grand opening. I'll have a bunch of pictures then, maybe a video tour.
