On the road with Gary Gary alternates between driving his Freightliner FL-60 and a 2009 Ram 3500. We bought our current trailer in 2007 and had the interior custom-designed by S & P Interiors in Missoula, Montana (unfortunately, they are no longer in business).

 

 

 

We are often asked what it's like traveling and living "on the road" and for the most part it is very enjoyable. The trailer is equipped with a bathroom, sink and shower, cupboards for storage,a queen size bed, TV/DVD player, as well as a microwave, fridge, hot pot and BBQ for cooking. Gary also carries a generator with him, in the event that if he can't get plugged in he can always use generator power for heat, electricity and hot water.

 

 

 

 

 

We had a friend of ours who is an interior designer help us with the custom living quarters so it's got some extra touches including a leather sofa, custom rawhide, leather and antler valances, soft touch wall and custom cabinetry. Now that we've had it for a few years...I'm ready for a slide-out model!

 

 

Rodeo (IPA:\ro-de-o\) is a sport which arose out of the working practices of cattle herding in Spain, Mexico, and later the United States, Canada, South America and Australia. It was based on the skills required of the working vaqueros and later, cowboys, in what today is the western United States, western Canada, and northern Mexico. Today it is a sporting event that consists of several different timed and judged events that involve cattle and horses, designed to test the skill and speed of the human cowboy and cowgirl athletes who participate.


The closest translation is "ROUND UP"
