Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos
Without going into too much painful detail, we had a mishap several week-ends ago. While working with sand bag crews on the Mississippi River, the truck and camper fell into the flood waters as a road...

Thanx guys for your inquiries and suggestions. Last night we boon docked on Muley Point overlooking John's Canyon and Mexican Hat. At least I think that's what we overlooked. Actually I felt like I was overlooking Creation as the mesas and rocks and mountains and wind and.....
You understand the feeling.
We shared this breezy outcropping with a dozen well behaved bikers from Denver. Ironically their concern was that I would spin up a generator and disturb the peace. Heh. The world of bikers has surely changed since my youth.
We broke one of the rear tie downs and dislodged the right forward Fastgun. We were rolling over the back roads like a cat boat in Nantucket. At the end my belly bar scraped rocks and dislodged the tie down.
Then it rained.
We felt so cozy inside the Avion - warm and full of the Indian curries and Chana dal that we keep on board.
This morning we descended the Mokie Dugway, a switchback gravel road built by uranium miners in the 50s. Sweet Jane awakened at 1am dreading the descent of almost 2000 feet on a road that often does not allow vehicles to pass. Again in a sign of the times, she consulted Tripadvisor and was reassured by their 5 rating for the road. She slept soundly after that.
There is some sort of weird lesson in all that, but it's best not to explore that when you're on the road with your wife.
So we went down this morning. We passed 4 vehicles and backed only once. And yes the views were a bit disturbing at times....close to the edge or with the Avion skirting rock. It is by no means a White Rim Trail, but I think it's an Avion challenge.
We didn't see any Class A's or C's or fivers on the way down. I honestly don't think those guys can go where we do.
Sorry no photos. I can't post from here. Maybe I'll write it up when we get back.
Further Avionistas!
