After an unexpected divorce, I left Oregon, its rising real estate prices and its endless rains behind and landed here in Alamogordo, on the fringe of the Chihuahuan desert at the very foot of the Sacramento Mountains. There are amazing things to see in virtually every direction, and my Subaru Forester is rated to tow 1500 pounds. I am currently envisioning a simple tear-drop build on a Northern Tool 5 X 8 trailer. If I keep the cabinetry to a super minimum in keeping with my minimal skills and get a little help with wiring, I think I can pull it off. I find the designing and imagining almost as much fun as the actual build on a project. Here's to a Dixon Ticonderoga No. 2, a ruler, and a pad of graph paper!
