FIRE!

My favorite photo - Skilpad sure looks happy to see that Fireman! So we decided to take a trip down to Florida Panhandle for a gentle week of beachwalking, sunshine and bike rides. It was not meant to be. Right before Birmingham, Alabama, at around 4.30pm on Christmas Day, Skilpad caught alight and burned to a crisp. We had stopped along the road for a bathroom break and the smoke poured out from under the hood. All gone in less than 20 minutes. Everything! Now we are hunting our new 'home on wheels' for the Alaska Trip of 2006.
