News from Hike! Petty cool video, huh? Well, I hope you'll also check out my latest Hiker Happy brainstorm. If you have been following my travels, you know we got some great pictures. We put them to good use - Check It Out! And please let me know if you'd like to see something else added.
Not familiar with the smiley guy? Well, read on...
We are thrilled to have Hiker Happy join us in our RV travels and hiking adventures. Who is this small yet spirited friend?
"Hike", as we like to call him, comes to us from our pals at
Happy Campers.
You may not know this, but the Happy Camper Club logo man is real. His real name is "Camp Happy", and has become so popular that the folks at Happy Camper had to hire some body-doubles to attend events and appear on his behalf when his calendar is full.
Hiker Happy is one of the new recruits.
He is about two feet tall, has arms and legs, and fits nicely into a suitcase. He loves camping and hiking, and as you might expect, is full of information on how to save money at
Happy Camper RV parks.
But apparently all the Happies have been causing some mischief at Happy Camper headquarters in Louisiana.
So, Happy Camper President, Anne Pierson, got this great idea to send the Happies on the road (and out of her hair). We learned about all of this at
RV Scrapbook
, a fun new online social network for RVers.
We were glad to have his company and got busy getting ready for his arrival. Not that there was a lot do - but even a 2-foot tall house guest needs a place to sleep and some room in a cabinet or drawer to put away his things.
I'm a product of the big city and the Sixties. Was not a Hippie but was a Conservative Mod.
Music preferences lean towards Rock and Roll groups of the 50's. Occasionally suffer from short term memory lose due to all the fun back in the Sixties through ??.
Perhaps it's because I've spent a lot of time in cities, I now appreciate the great outdoors and hiking.
I have spent time camping in tents and now I'm getting the knack of a Class A motorhome, as I travel around with Jose and Jill.
