How did we get to our Tara, our Casita travel trailer?
Our travel journey has
been long. Our first trip together was back in 1975 to Telluride,
Colorado, when it was a still a little sleepy mining town that
hippies were rejuvenating. While it was just a trip back then, it has
since been referred to as our 'honeymoon.' We took it in a VW

One of the main questions people would ask us is, "How much gear weight do you pack?" We weighed everything one year and our gear turned out to be 100 pounds. That's really not bad considering that single cyclists (people traveling on a regular bicycle (not tandem)) carry 50 - 75 pounds of gear.
Now we travel in, what some people would call, a tiny travel trailer. We call it a luxurious mansion on wheels, our 17-foot Casita Spirit Deluxe travel trailer (all things are relative). While we can pack a lot more, space still plays an important part. I've seen all sorts of inside trailer modifications just to accommodate a conventional coffee brewer. One of the items we've taken from those bicycle
