Having already been fitted out with new wide-angle mirrors and special camper tie downs, Big Red the Truck got new "air springs" to make the camper ride easier.
Arthur has also hauled the camper off to camper camp, a business in South Windsor that specializes in all things camper, for a tune up.
There they will see if the refrigerator can be made to work (or whether it will have to function as a vertical cooler). They will also check out the stove, hot water heater, and other plumbing. Meanwhile back at the ranch there are the checklists of supplies and equipment that a rolling home will need: pots and pans, sheets and towels, bike tools and inner tubes, even a wind-up lantern and a sun shower.
On Saturday July 21, if all goes well, we will rendezvous with Annie on the western border of Iowa in the little town of Sioux Center.
A team needs a logo, and ours ~ posted here ~ will hopefully end up on the back of our team tee shirts. It has to be on the back so that other riders can see it as they go whizzing by!
