New Camper

Hello all,
Got "THE E-MAIL" last week with production pix of the 550
Ultra!!! It's in the pipeline!! Time to get serious about planning that
1st trip when we pick her up....can't wait :D

Closing in on a name too.

Dave and Rene
 
Well good for you. I remember the day we started the build. Evan had not started the forum. I kept pictures in my office. I had the build website up on a spare monitor. It was alot of good, good fun.

Congratulations Dave! Our 560 is on a truck headed our way and will be here Tuesday! Soon there will be enough of us on the road that we'll need to put our number on the liscense plate - we're #406 and I think that's a cool way for us all to identify one another! Your post was titled Ahoy Mates and since your last name is Hoy, a license place could be A Hoy, cause it is one of you now!
 
I like Hilditch's method of dealing with vanity plates - very cost effective.

Welcome to the family! To christen your teardrop I would recommend a trip not too far from home… Tahquamenon Falls State Park (http://www.exploringthenorth.com/tahqua/tahqua.html) especially if your camper should arrive in time for the fall colors, this area would give Vermont and the New England area a run for its money.

I 2nd that recommendation - a beautiful area, especially in fall...

We should be broken "Inn" by then...ya think? :grin:
Had we known about Tahquamenon falls we would have worked it in this time..but will later for sure.

As you can see from our Map we have our "work?" cut out.

We will do our best to document with Photos as best we can.
BTW Bear we have studied your lists and all the great advice gleaned from the forum.

Thus will be the voyage's of "JoyAhoy" as we have named our craft.

Some great State Parks on your list. At Wyalusing there is 1 electric site up on the ridge that's on the bluff side of the road, overlooking the confluence of the Wisconsin & Mississippi Rivers - see if you can snag that spot. Devil's Lake, Wyalusing, and Turkey Run are all excellent and have some nice hiking opportunities as well. Have a great trip, and congrats on the imminent delivery.
 
Thanks Jenn,
Not sure exactly where our spot is but we have a reservation.
we should get there early enough to try out a trail or two.
Dave and Rene
 
There are some nice trails that take you up the bluffs on either side of Devil's Lake, with great views...
