We went camping at the Lower Wolf Creek Campground this weekend. Another successful and fun filled weekend with the Vessey's and Ed and Honey. It was warm during the day but cooled off at night quite a bit. It was a nice break from the Phoenix summer heat.
The camp ground has no hookups so we used our battery powered LED lights. We brought the dogs with. They did not enjoy themselves as much as we thought they would, but seemed relaxed. They don't like being on a leash at all times. They will have to learn to like it as they will be brought along in the future.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have just bought a 1949 Crown 12-foot just like yours, it was bought in Reno but is now in Oregon where it will stay at my sisters while we restore it.
Would be great to keep in touch with other Crown owners as I gather there aren't many of us around!
Check out my Facebook page for photos of her at: http://www.facebook.com/vintagecaravanmagazine
Hope to see you on the road soon!
Cheers,
Lisa
Say here Crown Canned Ham Enthusiasts!
ReplyDeleteWe have acquired ours. We Live in Keeler CA, and picked this one up in Swansea, a few miles down the road. It is beat up. But not impossible to restore. It has a long colorful history embedded in the mining community and probably used for many years as a residence.
We are at ground zero in our restoration process and are looking around gathering as much information as to the possibilities.. Your site has been instrumental to our thought process at this point and you are now our new heroes!
Thank you so much for your site!
Kevin and Jutta
I would love to see both of your trailers! I'm so happy we are an inspiration and not a warning:) It was a lot of work, but well worth it.
ReplyDeleteI have a canned ham, 1956 Crown. I would love to see some closeup photos of your logo placards. Mine are missing and would like to have someone remake them. email me at maxrainet.com. Thanks
