getting ready!

 leaving for Tahquamenon Falls soon! just a weekend trip, but I am so ready to get away. Cant wait to see the snow (i dont want it at my house, but it is nice to go and see it somewhere else occasionally) and of course the frozen falls. Cheyanne and i saw the frozen falls ( ALOT of them) a few years ago, and they are amazing, cant wait for the kids to see them this time. 

We got Ruby (the camper) back from the dealer a few days ago, and have spent the last few days getting her winter-ready. i put foam tiles on the floor for a little extra warmth, and put refletix insulation on the windows... the furnace works again (no thanks to the dealership that "fixed it") so thats good. i packed some extra anti-freeze as well, just in case.

one of the bigger projects i got done was to flip the axle, so the camper body sits higher. it should do much better going in and out of parking lots now, so we dont drag the bumper on bumps, and it should do better in the deeper snow too (at least i hope so). Not sure how much itll change the center of gravity, and effect the sway going down the expressway, but we will find out. if its horrible, i can always flip it back the way it was.  

we had a warm (like 45 degrees!) day the other day, so i got the camper and truck all washed up and ready to go. we started planning meals and getting the smaller stuff ready today... cant wait! hopefully the next post will be after we get back.
