Who the heck are the Meeks?
“Howdy”, as we like to say in the South! Those that know the Meeks, know that we would rather be in the woods, camping in the mountains, sitting around a campfire, kayaking down a river, skiing down a mountain, fishing in a lake, and well…. all the wonderful things that come with an outdoor adventure. Let me introduce you to my sweet little family!
Doc Whiskers:
He’s the head honcho around this outfit. Not only is he easy on the eyes *swoon* he can out fish you any day of the week, he can out build you a fire, he can fearlessly lead us through the mountains on ANY adventure, read a topography map like no one’s business, tie a fly with the most eloquent patience and detail, tool you a leather belt, and play sweet Patti (his guitar) in a way that will make your Grandma get gaga eyes. If you don’t find Doc in the mountains, he’s probably either watching baseball, or listening to old country on his record player. He is well…. amazing, and looks great in flannel!
The Lucky Lady:
Hi….I’m Mom! I’m the crazy one, the unpredictable one (other than I ALWAYS have a to-do list) I’m the meal prepper, the boo-boo kisser, the “get all our crap together to go on an adventure” worry wart, plant loving, book reading, thrift store buying, rock collecting, fiercely loving, coffee drinking, occasionally cussing, short tempered, storytelling, southern-accent friend! Ummm check out Doc next to me... hubba, hubba!
CW:
Well, other than being Doc Whiskers’ Lucky Lady, CW is one of my greatest accomplishments in life. I never imagined that traveling with anyone else other than my husband could be so great, until little CW came along! He is a 5 year old ALL BOY! I’ve decided it’s written into his DNA that he loves sticks, rocks, dirt, bugs, play guns, a baseball bat, hunting, fishing, and just plain being outside more than anything I could buy him. One day I hope he thinks his Mom and Dad are cool for taking him along to all these wonderful places. If you ever want to know the true joy of nature and adventure, seriously…. look through your child’s eyes.
Coop:
Y’all lets give a warm welcome to Coop!!! He entered our world early, fast, after a helicopter ride for Mom, loud and screaming! He is the sweetest, chunkiest, laughing-est, beautiful baby. There is yet to be a food he doesn’t like, or stranger he’s been afraid of. He literally has a smile like this, on his face all the time! He made his first big road trip at 5 months old, and I think he traveled better than all of us combined. The one thing he might love more than food, is just plain being outside!
Newt:
He’s the newest member of the Meeks crew! He is all houndog and we swear he’s like a modern day “Hank the Cowdog”. He thinks he runs the house and property around here, but... you can find him like this 99% of the daytime. But… nightime rolls around and you’d think by his deep howl and bark, that there’s 100 coyotes trying to get into the house. You’ll never be able to mistake him for another houndog because of his crooked-tipped tail.
Loretta June:
She’s the newest member of the family! Ohhhh my poor, sweet, hard working Doc Whiskers….I’ve always told him I’d love to own an Airstream, and after his initial “I can’t believe we’re buying an Airstream” face…. We now have Loretta June Meeks. Honestly it was love at first sight, and truly a chance encounter that we met Bob and Sharon (new-found friends from Texas I might add) to buy her. She’s already traveled over 10,000 miles since we’ve owned her and well…. lets just say she still looks pretty damn good for an ’83 model. Thank you Bob and Sharon for loving Loretta June and us!
