Scott in the 1971 Volkswagen Camper Van
Yes, it is Throwback-Thursday and yes, this is me in the family Volkswagen Camper Van, a shot taken in May of 1971 when we were apparently on a trip to Colorado Springs. There are many other shots of me years later when I wanted to drive (like in 1972) where I am sitting on the…

Camping at Gulf Shores State Park
We got a big tent and we went camping down on Gulf Shores State Park. It was a short hike over the road to the beach, which was cold but very nice, we had a great time and I was able to get some great photos while we were there. Gulf Shores has always been…

Leaving North Carolina for Texas
It is difficult to say goodbye to friends and to leave a place you have come to call home. We left North Carolina last week to travel to Texas where we will be staying for a month or so before going to Colorado for the rest of the year. Eddie, Nora, Leslie, Jerry, Josh and…

Cold Outer Banks Beach Camping in the Bus
In 2002, it was still possible to camp/park near the beaches in the Outer Banks, NC. These are a few shots of a quick trip we took over from the Chocowinity campground in the bus to test out a few things and just to see the beach/ocean again. It is always calling us, regardless of…

RoadTrek Camping in the Florida Keys
Back in our younger days, we used to go in the water. HAHA. These are from a quick trip that we took to the Florida Keys. We stayed at either Bahia Honda or John Pennekamp State Park and enjoyed some fun, albeit cold snorkeling.

Beach Camping in the RoadTrek
One of the few times we pay for a campsite is when we want to be near the beach/ocean and have no real alternative available. This was one of those times. Judging from the sea grass in the photos, I believe these photos were taken in North or South Carolina. Not the most glamorous photo…

Great Lakes Camping in the RoadTrek Van
Working on the road takes quite a bit of logistics and organization. Twenty six years ago, working on the road was different than it is today. We were just learning how to properly use the internet and trying to understand just how powerful it was. I don’t think anyone really knew, or could even imagine,…

Taking the RoadTrek to the Florida Keys
One of the most consolidated and efficient “use of space” campers we have ever owned was our RoadTrek Class B Motorhome. Every space inside was useful for something and sometimes for more than one thing. Something that has become a tradition for us is to take any new camper we acquire to the Florida Keys…
