This Willys wagon was built by an older couple to enjoy fishing. Maybe it is just the camera perspective, but it sure looks like there is plenty of room inside. When the couple decided they were done using it, they sold it the author of this blog: http://rockhopperfishing.com/sleepinginthedunes1963/

Recent Camping Trips
With all the great weather, we’ve managed to sneak in a few camping trips. We were really roughing it in Ann’s mother’s new motorhome. Yes, we left her mother behind so we could enjoy some quite time.
Early last week we made the two hour drive to the Ohanapecosh Campground at Mt. Rainier. Here are some photos from that trip.
A couple days ago we drove from Pasco to Red Bridge Wayside State Park. Red Bridge is one of five northeast Oregon state wayside parks that are well kept and inexpensive places to stay. Of the twenty spots available, only three were taken. So we had a very quiet stay. However, somehow we didn’t get any photos of the campground.
We did find a horseshoe pit, but lacking horseshoes we turned to frisbees.
