And this my friends is the story of "Scrappy" and what will become of him!

Once upon a time there was an old travel trailer that just wouldn't give up.
 It had been beaten and deserted and left to rot. Now I say, "left to rot" lightly., because this travel trailer wasn't quite done living yet, and this travel trailer was well built, and this travel trailer held back from rotting with all it's might. No Sir, this travel trailer is going to be something again someday. It is going to have life in it, and build memories, and live on to tell a million stories! THIS travel trailer will once again make someone very happy and isn't that what's really important anyway?

Listen up folks and follow along. You are about to be led on a path of
victory and glory!

I would like to introduce you to "Scrappy". 

 Scrappy was first sold at Jim's Marine & Travel in Sayre, Pennsylvania.! He was rescued not too far from that but just across the NY/PA border!                                                                  

There are lights all over the place and no lights where they should be. That will change!

Upper Cabover bunk.

The Dinette!

Now I wonder who picked out that floor!

Scrappy had a bunch of beach toys left inside of him and Ghandi the dog made up for lost time since they hadn't been played with!

Still has the original emblem!

 Scrappy was purchased in December of 2010. The guy who had him held on to him until he was finally retrieved in April of 2011. So I would say that if a travel trailer can have a soul...then Scrappy is a patient soul. Actually, he has waited this long, what was a few more months?! When Scrappy arrived, there was another travel trailer that took priority. Lucky the 1962 Shasta Airflyte. and so he was left to sit and ponder what the future might bring. And on that note...so was I!

Scrappy has a story to tell...don't they all? And as the days go by I am sure that there will be more stories to add to that list. He has had some work done and been moved around a bit and almost ended up in the scrapyard (which, by the way,  is synomonous with the looney bin for us humans). He is still hanging on though, and like I said earlier...not ready to give up! He has faced adversity...wind, rain, snow, loneliness, abandonment, mistreatment and a feeling of being not quite good enough. In his heart...that is if a travel trailer can have a heart....he knows that he is!

In the words of Thomas Carlyle:

"Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with"

And I think heaven is looking down on Scrappy and maybe, just maybe, Scrappy will become a jewel again and give some lucky people a little taste of heaven when they hit the road together in search of new horizons and good times.

Stay tuned folks, oh yeah, there's lot's more to come. Like I told you, Scrappy hasn't given up yet...and neither should you!

Until next time always remember there is always beauty to be found and sometimes, it's

when and where and how you might least expect it!
