I'm the first to admit that in computer terms, I'm a flint knife and bear skin kinda guy. Handy with a sawzall, prybar and an HVLP spraygun, but computers...not so much. I was urged to do a blog on the journey that Tallulah Belle has taken us on, warts, bloody knuckles and all, so with assistance from a web designer I have put together a blog this week. This is a tale of how we got into the world of vintage camping and the unexpected twists and rabbit holes it has led us down (so far). The address is here www.shastadeluxe.com
and if anyone here looks at it please leave a comment, and let me know what I can do to make it more readable. We have gotten an IMMENSE amount of help and inspiration from this forum and the old Shasta forum, and would like to help others if we can, with vendor lists, paint codes, tricks and hacks...you get the picture.

Hey Txoil, Love your blog - kinda sounds like what happened with us where my wife discovered Canned Hams on pinterest and the rest is history. Our first rally is in September so excited about that and just about got our Shasta Compact ready to go. Getting a portable ac unit which should do the job and will post info about this project when I "install" it ! Keep your posts coming and subscribed so I won't miss any. Regards, Mike Beaufort, SC

Enjoyed reading your blog - well done!! These little trailers have a way of not only following us home, but quickly becoming a necessity we never knew we needed! lol

After many months of no updates, I have started to add to the blog again. Yes, yes, I have been lazy. Guilty as charged. With Tee Girl's first rally coming in a couple of weeks I want to get the timeline caught up to present. Again, a most heartfelt THANKS to those who have visited the blog!

I really enjoyed your blog. It encouraged me greatly as I could see the "stages" clearly, some I have been in, and some I am heading towards. The only advice, or comment I would make on the blog, is that if there is a way to put a comment on the page to start reading at the bottom, where the first post is, that would be helpful as it took me several minutes to figure out where the start of the blog is.

You are right, and I made that change today, with my newest post. Thank you for the insight, and I appreciate your taking time to read my blog!
