Bucket List trip

I've had my pop up for sale since August with no luck. Today I got a call from a older gentleman who wanted to take a looksie. We were chatting as I was setting it up and he says 'I've never owned a camper before only camped a couple of times in my life'. He tells me he had stomach cancer this pass summer and the surgery was a success but he got sepsis that dang near killed him so he decided he was buying a pop up and taking his 7 yr old grandson on a cross country camping trip to California next summer, wants to create awesome memories for him. Dang throughout the hour we spent practicing setting up and taking down, I couldn't help but get teary eyed thinking of all my great memories camping as a kid, then taking my kids and grandkids camping.
I certainly hope this man and his grandson have an incredible time next summer and they continue camping together until grandpa can no longer
  • I am sure they will rack up the memories. My two favorite in a pop up are in Prince Albert Park in Canada. One the bears came at dawn and raided the trash can. We all laid on the bed quietly watching. Second my three brothers farted around with a moose calf and the momma moose treed them. They were in that tree until my parents took my sister and I looking for them. Caught my first Northern Pike that trip. We rented a little fishing boat and learned to troll. Great memories.
