Trailer Park Wars....
Ok, so last year while at Elk Idaho, glamping with my Trailer loving Gal~pals.... I spotted this game at the little community General store... soooo cute but i resisted buying it.
I having been thinking about it all year and finally broke down and ordered it off of Amazon.com... well it arrived today! Yipppeeeeeeeeee!
I can hardly wait to open & play it with my hubby~poo....
It's going to be fun to bring on my camping trips don't you think?
I was looking at this game too and wondering if it is good. I would love to find out how you liked it. I just found your blog a couple of days ago, I love it. I love, love, love camping or maybe I have been glamping all along, I like things pretty fancy! I am turning 50 in August and a big glamping party is being planned, to say I am excited would be an understatement. In the last few days I read your entire blog, and enjoyed every entry. Happy glamping days to you.
We had such fun re-vamping our "Lil Twinkie" 12foot 1976 SCAMP trailer that we wanted to do it again....but this time with a Vintage Canned Ham Trailer....so Lil Twinkie went to a new loving home and we searched till we found "Gracie's Victorian Rose".... We bought her for $950.00....a tad bit more then I wanted to spend...but structurally GVR is in great shape thou she does need some "cosmetic work" and so now the fun begins! Just hope the old check book holds out!!!! aacckk! For any of you that have ever "re-done" a Vintage Trailer project...the initial purchase of the trailer is always the cheapest part! But oh the fun, the shopping, the demolition, and finally the restoration!"Gracie's Victorian Rose" is a bit of a mystery as we do not know her true age (what woman admits her age? haha!)...the previous owner did not have the title & the Washington Dept. of License...could not find enough of the Vin number to run through their system. The License plate is from 1963...(but thanx to the help of a friend who has the same exact trailer) we are assuming it is a 15foot 1959 Aljo Trailer. So by doing the math that makes GVR 51 years old and that makes her younger than me! Hmmmmmm! Unless through our research we find out that she is actually older!Gary is sliding through cyber space looking for Bits, Pieces & Parts for Gracie's Victorian Rose..... the Internet is a great tool for finding resources and information.I found the perfect fabric and will be sewing the new curtains this coming week not to mention continue to call Upholstery Shops for quotes on the Sofa and the Bankette seats.... other then that Gary & I will do all the rest of the re-model ourselves. Well I will be posting LOTS of pics as we progress. Today's task was demolition, fun but dirty!So do peek in from time to time and watch the progress.
Yep....let us know how the game is!
