Wenders & Larry
Newbie
Dear Forum Friends,
My husband Larry and I (tent campers during our 42 years of marriage) recently ordered our first mini camper from Camp Inn. It will be ready in March, and we are beyond excited for the big day! In the meantime, we have our eye on a bright green Jeep Gladiator to pull our new camper. We welcome any comments about the Gladiator, especially from people who may already own one.
Now for a brief introduction. Larry and I are both educators. Larry is a professor in the Earth and Atmospheric sciences department at Central Michigan University and loves teaching geology and hydrogeology. Hopefully, Larry will retire sometime in the next two years. I am newly retired (WOO-HOO!) after 32 years of teaching; and although I have taught students of all ages (from Kindergarten to CMU elementary education majors), my favorite students have always been my amazing 6th graders. We are outdoorsy people, and our two favorite journeys were backpacking across Isle Royale and backpacking from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to the North Rim. We have a 34-year old daughter named Rebecca, and we both come from large families. We have enjoyed taking our godchildren, nieces, and nephews on camping trips every year, ever since Becky was in elementary school.
Now that we are of retirement age, we are looking forward to changing things up a bit by hitting the road, sleeping on a real bed, and joining the mini camper community! After visiting the Camp Inn facility twice, we fell in love with the gorgeous teardrop and raindrop campers! And the galley ... OH MY GOODNESS!!! I can't wait to organize all our kitchen stuff!! We eventually decided on the Raindrop so that we could easily share the sleeping space with our yellow lab Darcy!
As the newest newbies, Larry and I are hoping to learn from all of you in the coming years. Until next time,
Wendy (and Larry) Lemke

Thought right now its in serious need of an alignment.
Its in Necedah, so you can get to meet the people who are building your camper. Its an awesome time, and if you can swing it worth the trip.
