Step One: Purchase the cutest little Shasta Camper I can find!

Well, Now I have done it! 

   After a lot of searching and excitement and big disappointments, Several times I found the "Perfect" camper only to have it sold before I could even take a look at it, I was beginning to think it just wasn't in the cards for me to pursue this Venture. (Who knew these little beauties were in such demand)
   I Finally found the one for me, and it is exactly what I need for my intentions (you'll find out soon enough😊)
The young man that had posted it on Craigslist that very day, was so nice to take it down the minute I said "I want it!" It was located almost 3 hrs away and I could not get there to look at it until the weekend, but I knew if I didn't grab it up right away it would be gone. So I sent him a deposit, sight unseen :) If you know anything about me, then you know, this is pretty much in character for me, As my hubby puts it I'm a "Fly by the seat of my pants" kinda gal. Which is very much NOT his personality, but he had seen me "snooze and loose" several times already so he said "Go for it".
By the time the weekend flew around, I was itching to get on the road, first thing. We made our journey, signed the papers and headed home with my new project. I am in love with this little 1968 (I believe) Shasta Compact trailer, and just wait till you see what I have planned for her.
But FIRST THINGS FIRST...
She needs a name, and of course it needs to be a Sweet Southern name. So I'm gonna let you, my readers, my Followers on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, my Family and Friends help me out. 
Here she is, take a good look and give me some name ideas. I will post the winning name when I decide. Get those wheels to spinning, Shasta Baby needs a name :)
