Event Coverage Alittle vintage camping over a great weekend

So theres this little RodRun thats been going on for 20yrs this year local to us.
Its mainly stuff we dont care so much for, and lots of big motorhomes and such, but we go cuz its a super laid-back chillin weekend for us.

So this year Me, Diamond Dave and Moon Man took our little canned HAMB campers and went.

Heres a few pics. I had a great time just sitting in the shade and doing nothing. I dont think I walked the show more than 1 time all weekend.

We were off away from most everyone else and that was fine by me.

Besides the 3 of us, Jbird came and stayed in his van sat. night, and a few of the other guys came and went.

here a few pics. Happy Memorial Day. Thank a Vet.

 

You've got it figured out dude. Kick back, relax and enjoy the company of your buds.

 

That looks like a lot of fun!

 

That looks like fun. I've been driving p*** a trailer similar to those on my way to work and now I'm afraid I'll have to stop and check on it.

 

Looked like great fun. I must admit I'm becoming more & more interested in those neat ol' trailers. They hark back to a simpler time.

 

Better than "Disney Land" looks like a great time!

 

The simple life is the good life.

 

I agree,,It does look like ya had a good time,,

But what bothers me is ,what's the deal with the sawsall on the table? HRP

 

Very cool pics and it looks like a great time. Lucky you.

 

When we came back from a swap meet last spring my wife bought a 17 foot 1968 Golden Falcon trailer. Turned out we were the FIRST registered owners.The camper had been barged down the bay and used as a guest cabin at a cottage.When the owner died it came up in the estate auction. Low miles....all nautical.

 

Very cool, looks like a good fun time.

 

Oh, yeah. Well done. Thanks for the reminder that this hobby is about listening to your own drummer. Gotta get my tent and sleeping bag squared away..... haven't had them out in a while.

 

Looked like a great time. Cool little campers too.

 

Man, you must have had 300 people come by and wanna chat about that!

 

that's doing "relaxation" right...looks like fun

 

You guys are doing it right. Looks cool and looks like it was some good fun too. Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

Kewl looking set-up. What is the name of the Rod Run? Looks like something I need to check into for 2010. Thanks.

 

Nice. Looks like you should be Tin Can Tourists!

 

Very cool! Looks like a great time.

 

You guys have it fiqured out...family, friends and cars!

 

That's thirteen kinds of fun right there! Still looking for another one myself. I kick myself in the *** every time I think about trading the one I had for a POS project car...22 years ago!

 

Way cool...

 

Thanks guys.

The Run is called Campfire Streetrodders Rodrun, in Girard Ohio. Like I said, theres 90% non-HAMB type cars, but....we make our own fun.

We snuck in that outta the way area and pretty much stayed there.

There are alot of good people we know who do that run, just not HAMB type stuff for the most part.

But between me, Diamond Dave, Moon Man and Jbird, there was 4 HAMBers, and I know that there were at least 3-4 other guys there who are HAMB members.

I had PMs asking what the campers are.

Mine is a 61 Scotty
Daves yellow one is a 58 Metzendorph
Sams is a 63 EZ Traveler

Good times, Good friends

 

Oh, and the Sawzall..........

I broke my bed friday night So I needed a 2x4 repair...haha

Then my kid used it to cut firewood...

 

i would so like to do this ,also thinking about an old boat.

 

Nice camer Grumpy where do you find them? do you have any "updated" pics of the inside?

 

Great! The price of old camp trailers just went up nationwide!
I've got a 47 Kit teardrop trailer and my eye on an old Scotty.
A guy I worked with years ago was eyeballing a Pierce-Arrow Travelodge by a guy's house in a little town SE of here. Funny thing was another guy found one right near there too! I told my guy about it and he rushed out that night and found "HIS" trailer still there and bought it after watching it for about 10 years! They aren't much to look at from outside but are roomy and nice inside.

 

You guys had a great time I'm sure. Some day I'll have one myself! Often have thought of getting a small camper such as one of those. Love the pics.

 

Looks awesome, I'm sure you guys had a fantastic time. Great pics, thanks for sharing them.
I love haulin my '63 Scotty camping behind my '37!
