Mid century metal lawn chairs

I found these mid century metal lawn chairs at an antique store yesterday.  I bought the rounded back one first.  This morning I took my coffee out on my deck and sat in my new old chair and and thought, this chair needs its fellow old chairs on my deck.  I told myself, to heck with plastic molded chairs I have.  I want mid century coolness on my deck.  So at noon I drove back down wishing nobody else had purchased them, and with luck they were still there.  So I bought the matching pair.

One of them is a rocker, but they all kind of bounce.  I really like the fiesta orange color but the blue one probably should be painted.  I've been looking for some of these for the longest time.  I suspect they are from the 1940s, but they've been painted a few times.  I think the original color on the pair was green seat and back with white arm rails.  I might paint the pair but I'm going to leave the single one with the rounded back just the way it is.

Aristocrat travel trailer in Glacier Park

Here's a picture of our Aristocrat travel trailer in Glacier Park.  There's a little tear drop trailer in the distance going through the loop.  I really only saw two other vintage trailers.  The tear drop and one canned ham.  Both were really nice.  Ours will be nice with paint and a few repairs, but it works really well as it is.  We stayed in it a total of 6 days now and with the fridge running the whole time and have yet to use one propane bottle, and didn't need to charge the RV battery.  No need for a generator with this trailer.  I hate those things anyway.  If you are going to annoy people with a generator at least shell out for a Honda.

I was blown away by one massive triple axle fifth wheel some guy pulled through the campground.  My gosh.. It was huge, and only two people using it.  I wouldn't have had the nerve to pull that thing through there like that.  I had to wonder if they need a structure that big for camping why not just stay home?  They pulled into one spot and didn't stay.  I think because they couldn't extend all of the slide-outs.  When they built Apgar Campground I don't think they ever imagined campers that large trying to squeeze in.

There were a few Chalet style campers which look like an A frame pop up.  That seems to be the choice for people wanting a small camper these days.   I guess that would be my choice if I were forced to have a new camper.

Apgar Campground

Here's a picture of Queenie doing her toes at our camp in Apgar Campground in Glacier Park.  We like it there because there's a bike path that goes to the bus transfer station, Apgar and also West Glacier, as  well as good access to Lake McDonald.  There's also a dump station for the trailer that's easy to get to and use.

We figured out that we like campsites where we can have the door of our trailer facing the campsite.  So as we drive around the loops we prefer campsites on the right hand side of the road.  I also finally figured out how to unfold the little steps under the door of the trailer.  Duh..
