my pup is nekkid ~ can I say that here? ;)

[Kelly]

It took me and a friend about an hour to remove all the canvas ... and the curtains and valance.  Managed to fit all the canvas into a box that measured 16"x16"x23" ... and then shipped it off to Bear Creek.   While the canvas is being done, we'll spend some time washing all the curtains and caulking the seams on the roof.  We'll reinstall the curtains and valance after the canvas is done.  Hopefully we'll have the replacement done and installed by the end of June when we have our first outing.

It's going to be a slow camping season for us ~ but we're excited for Hershey to get new "clothes"  :p

It looks sorta cute nekkid.  I saw a picture somewhere of Hershey buried in snow not too long ago.  It looks like Spring is almost there.

Could that have been in the mag?  I think I saw it there too

Here in Minnesota, a pup without canvas would be uninhabitable.  The 'skeeters (unofficial state bird, BTW) will carry you off.

People in ... Minnesota ... declare the mosquito to be the unofficial state bird.

Congrats, you now own a hotdog stand!

eeeek...she's nekkid :yikes:  and I thought this was a family board  :p

You can still camp without the canvas...I can picture the look on everyone's face when you crank it up :J

Hope Hershey gets her new outfit soon, camping season is starting :sombraro:

One of Georgia's native sons (and one of my favorite authors),  the late Lewis Grizzard, wrote about "naked vs. nekkid".  He said that "naked" means you don't have any clothes on, and "nekkid" means you don't have any clothes on and you're up to no good!!! :p

[tlhdoc]

LOL Kelly!  I can just picture you and the kids showing up at a campground, cranking up, setting up camp, and then camping in your nekkid PU.  I could just see the looks people would give you as they went by.  You could even tell them that you have see though tenting so that you can watch the stars at night.

Any if I may be so forward, what type of material are you going to have the new clothing made out of?

 Oh, then me and Pjay were ** CENSORED ** last night. :p

a hot dog stand??  you mean I could be making money while I wait?  who knew?

I ordered new "clothing" out of the finest canvas that Bear Creek had to offer ... we went with the gray.  And they make the windows tinted ~ yay!

They have a 10 to 12 week turn-around!  So the kids and I decided to camp a little less and I signed them up for most of the summer activities they wanted to do.  Next year it will be back to camping as usual.

I have a tent you can have -- I hate for you to not camp for a while.    :p   Of course, there is that small problem of getting the tent to you.  How's this for a deal - if you come pick it up, I'll pay for your campsite!  There are limits to my generosity, however.  In the meantime, hope the kids have fun doing their non-camping stuff.  But, I hope Hershey is dressed as quickly as possible so you know who gets to camp on her birthday.

Thanks for the very generous offer, Jan  :p  Iowa is a little more in the middle ... maybe we should be planning something there.  

You-know-who has already informed me that this year she will be camping in the backyard with some friends and they are sleeping in the tent this time. Could happen.  (I'll just leave the back door open just in case )

Just be sure and send us pictures after Hershey is fully clothed. I would like to see her new dudds. I am going to be replacing the canvas on my Jayco 1406 in the next year or so and I would really get a good idea of how it will turn out when I see your's with her clothes back on.  :sombraro:
