The knucklehead(otherwise known as my dog, Jake) and I go every weekend that we can. Two years ago we missed 4 weekends in 7 months, hoping to top this year.

I pm'd you. I would love to exchange pictures! On my "to do" list is learning to post pictures on the forum.
We, too, love our 80 and while I would consider changing to a new one if someone wanted to give us one--can't say for sure that I would. What we have now suits us. Sort of old, but well loved and cared for. Everyone should be so lucky!
Take Care,
Sue

Sue,
Shawn, and I say him because I wasn't gonna do it, opted to leave the outside of Minerva to her natural patina. First because the time, cost and upkeep to keep her shiny. Second because the longer we spent working on her the less time and money we'd have for camping (living) in her.
It's just a personal preference but I like her aged look!

Hi Nicki,
I know exactly where you are coming from! We looked into buying a Cyclo, and even a used one is lots of $$$. Hey, that's money we can use to pay a big portion of our stay at Ft. Wilderness!
I am, finally, happy with our decision to "go natural". I'm just a bit OCD, but in this case I'll get over it. Though that last picture from Frank does worry me....what the heck is that? I'll be taking a closer look at our trailer and hope I don't find any of whatever it is....
Take Care and look forward to meeting you at Bash III, if not before? Alumapalooza?
Sue

Exactly.. shiny trailer vs Ft. Wilderness.... I may get my aircard revoked but my staying at the Fort Addiction in my airstream out weighs my shiny trailer addiction!
I am sure Frank can tell us what is up with the picture....
It won't be Alumapalooza... as much as we'd love to go. Shawn can't be unplugged for that long.. he still works during the week. He is using his vacation days for the Bash and Ft. Wilderness!

No one has answered Sue, and I'm curious, too: what does SWMBO stand for??
I need to buy one of those tweeting acronym books.

No, to the best of my recollection, needing it to be bold would imply that you thought there might be any other way.
