nüCamp Then and Now

2017 New England, Ohio, Road Trip


This evening all üCamp17 participants were invited to the factory where Joe Mullet treated us to a history of Pleasant Valley Trailers. Joe’s journey from not even knowing what a teardrop trailer was to being the leader in the field over the course of fifteen years is truly an amazing story. The two of us learned more of the back story and were reminded of the parts of the story in which we played a part. Then we moved on to our tour out on the factory floor, a rare treat. Ever since the factory moved to its current location on Belden Parkway, factory tours have been conducted on the mezzanine allowing visitors to look down on the operations. Tonight we were able to approach and peer into individual units under construction meaning we owners all learned so much more about our trailers, got to see the quality components, and even see the CNC machine in operation!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
