Camperless in Massachusetts...

As the title states, I am now camper-less.

I sold the Sunline for a fair price Saturday to a fellow from New Hampshire, who braved the weather to see it, and with the help of my father, loaded it on my truck to deliver to his home in New Hampshire Monday morning.

It rained and was windy, Sunday morning as I went out to go to breakfast, noticed my canoe was missing off my truck cap on the back of the old C1500 Chevrolet my father was planning on rebuilding after the head on accident.

First I had a few choice words, then went out to find it on the ground 8 feet away, the wind picked it up off the roof rack of the cap and tossed it across the ground, complete with a couple dents too.

So now Monday morning I left with my father to take the venerable Sunline camper on it's last trip with me, it was a long, hard drive, with the wind and rain buffeting the camper from all directions. Luckily we made good time, leaving at 6:15AM and arriving at the new owner's home at 9:30AM. The surprise was that the clouds broke as we got there, the sun was out and the sky was bright blue. Beautiful weather compared to the drive. So we unloaded the camper, went over the winterizing stuff and the little facts about owning one of these campers, and Dad and I left, leaving a little piece of me behind with the memories of the fun trips I had and the conveniences of a small home away from home where I went.

Of course the Sunline is now on it's 4th owner and still rugged and solid enough for years of more adventures.

I'm going to miss that camper.
