Our Newest Member and Goodbyes

We said goodbye to our tent trailer on Saturday.  It has served us well for three Clearlakes.  Many wonderful Sage Family memories were wrapped up in that trailer, I thought we could remember a few:

• Driving down the freeway with the awning flapping behind us, leaving that awning behind in the ghettos of a rather well-known Northern California town
• The flat tire that took an hour for Matt and his dad to change—somewhere in the hot, hot, fields off the 5 freeway
• Our first trip ever—Silverwood Lake
• Our last trip ever—Doheny State Beach with the Creekside Clan
• Our coldest trip ever—Dogwood campground in November—we never left the tent—I don’t think I have ever been that cold
• The angry farmer that didn’t appreciate us on the side of his road
• The two huge king beds that we will never find again in another trailer—could easily fit three kids and all of our bags on one, Matt on the other (he is a very tall guy!).
• The list goes on

I don’t think Matt will miss it too much, it was a lot of work setting it up, taking it down, keeping it working, fixing the little things that would fall apart—but, it sure was our little piece of Sage Heaven in a campground full of dirt and bugs… 

We have moved on to a travel trailer.  It is beautiful and we love everything about it, especially the fact that Matt no longer has to crank up the roof—Clear Lake, here we come….
