Our N2Us Pop Up

A few months back we bought a pop up camper. Well, some dummy got it home and immediately broke one of the lift cables. Therefore, it sat in the drive for a period of time awaiting repair. I ordered parts to repair it and they said they would be in in two weeks. It was 6 days until our vacation (45 days after parts were ordered) and no parts. I got nervous and decided to see if I could repair it myself. Fortunately, the repair maunal was posted on the Pop Up Portal website. I read through the manual and jumped into the repair with both feet. Approximately two hours later the repair was done and we were ready to get her loaded for vacation.

Patty has named her "Patches".

My new flyrod...

I've been fly fishing now for nearly two years and I've wanted a custom rod for a long time. I was able to afford one so I ordered one from Gene Bethea "pearow". I wanted a 3 wt fiberglass so he made me a Tadpole which is typically a 4/5 wt rod. He offset the ferrules which lowered it to a 3/4 wt. I tried it out first with 3WF line and it cast really well. I then tried 5WF with less successful results so I went back to 3WF. I am sooooo happy that it is a 3 wt.

Here it is (bottom rod in first two pics)
