As you grow up and leave the playground where you kissed your prince and found your frog.

That's some beautiful woods there. Thanks for the pics.

Why do you call your camper Trashabago? Looks awesome to me. Also looks like you did a fine job. Also looks like a fun place to hang around. Looks like a welcome kind of place.

One thing I really like about this site is how it shows our individuality through our builds, decorations and camp set ups. Be proud of what you have there.

Thanks for the pictures. I would love to camp in the Boundry Waters area but am no longer capable of portaging our 18' 4" MadRiver long distances. Finding a place to put Compass Rose and to paddle would be a great experience.

The name was originally for my first build. The WhiteTrashabago was built for about $500; half the cost was the trailer frame. I reused a lot of the scrap wood, a window from a neighbor's wrecked camper shell, and framed it with a lot of warped furring strips. It also leaked like a sieve, but it was still fun to camp in.

I couldn't come up with a good name for this build, so I just kinda stuck with Trashabago 2.0

Nice photos, Tom! Looks like you and Henry saw some beautiful scenery!

I enjoyed the name of your former build because it was so funny! It was white, of course, but the name associated "white trash" with those really really big trailers, which is just funny.
