In september we ran into a guy who had found a 1993 3124 on Craigslist for $500.....it was a bit rough, but he and his dad were fixing it up. They were camping in the UP of Michigan on a trial run, and loving it!

With apologies to Longfellow, her wigwam is by the shores of Gitchee Gumee.

Padgett, I'd never heard of the Nokomis TM, so once again I've learned something from you. Thank you.

A Google-style follow-up unearths a few references to Nokomis, including this one from a Canadian site.

http://www.crva.ca/listing/trailmano...g-company-llc/

I don't know if the Nokomis still exists, but I'd like to think that someone in the Hulsey family took it in and protected it.

Bill

Thought someone was working on a history. Started one but was told was already in progress.

Padgett,

You are correct, a history was created, but it is the history of the TrailBlazers.

http://tmtrailblazers.org/

Using the above link, click on "The Tidings" then on "TrailManor TrailBlazers HIstory" links. One link is a slide show and the other a short video.

Dick

Well may have to start again since much of the TM content is no longer on the TM web site.

After the 1973 Nokomis, the next jpg I have is of an 86 TM25. Anyone have something earlier ?
