Piece of History Returns to Camp-Inn

Betsey, this is so cool! I can't wait to see this one parked next to #500. Now that will create some buzz.

Cary, are you going to have it bronzed? You know, like baby shoes.


I think you can tell I have nothing to do tonight...

If he knows whats good for him, he won't get anywhere near my baby with the bronze stuff!

Have a good day!

 

It was great to read how early Cary decided on the Stainless Steel fenders (#0001). Having only owned my CI for two months - I just did a camp out.. 23 miles down a gravel road and found out just how smart a decision that was and how unsatisfied I would be if I had painted fenders - like most of the other brands out there. See below



Great place BTW - Cascade Pass in the North Cascades (Washington State)... Mineral Park Campground - no water or electric - beautiful mountain river and the American Alps just down the road.

 

On our maiden voyage, Craig felt really bad about the pitting, as Cary had done such a nice job of painting the fenders. The stainless rock guards were added to protect the fenders from future pitting. So, it wasn't too hard for Craig & Cary to decide all future teardrops would have stainless fenders.

If the pits aren't too deep, you can use a purple Scotchbrite pad on them.

 

Hi Betsey,

No need to polish, I'll leave that for the aluminum... besides - its kind of a badge of experience ;^)

Oh, Cascade Pass, right next to Sahale Arm, one of my most favorite hikes. It has to be the marmot capital of the world. I hope you got to at least hike to the pass.

 

Yep - beautiful spot.

The only thing better would have been to camp and spend a couple days up there.. but that would have been one of those 1/2 inch thermorest matteresses and my back would have said - No thanks....

 

I loved the pictures and history.
