Shawn's WCSS3/Trip Pictures--Sorry I didn't take more!  Video clips to follow..will take more time though.

First day out from Iowa made a stop in Billings Montana.  Sadie and I had never gone camping together before but it worked out well.  Our tent from Ebay appears to be all here but we had checked it all out before leaving home of course.  wcss3 002.jpg (207236 bytes)wcss3 003.jpg (184868 bytes)wcss3 001.jpg (191411 bytes)

wcss3 027.jpg (197286 bytes)NV Zeno found a mud puddle.  This wagon is just dying for Hatch Patrol Status.  First it needs some street dents and more abuse but until then it makes a great car.
