You sure do travel in style. That's some really fine work you did.
I considered getting a more elaborate rig, but I needed an all-purpose vehicle. In addition to traveling, I use the van for routine, day-to-day errands. It is a passenger van that seats twelve passengers, including the driver. The seats are removable when we decide to travel. Right now, I can't show any detailed pictures of the traveling interior since I currently have the seats installed. I lack the necessary skills to rebuild an interior the way you have, nice work. We use folding cots, an ice cooler, and some plastic drawers:
Most of our voyages these days are destination-oriented. On our first trip after we bought the van, we went to Mansfield, Missouri to visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum. My wife is a fan of hers. She has every book that Laura wrote and many books written about her by others. She even has a biography of the actress who played Laura on Little House on the Prairie TV series. She has the entire Little House series on DVD. She can identify most of the historical inaccuracies in the TV series. The trip to Mansfield is slightly more than 1000 miles and we took our time, about three weeks round trip. One thing I am a bit sorry about is that we went right past Cahokia and didn’t stop to visit.
We also made an excursion to Florida, another thousand-mile trip. We were on the road for 4 weeks on that one.
This year we are probably going to spend some time in Ocean City, Maryland, and maybe a few days at a resort campground that’s about an hour from where we live.
Next summer we plan to travel west. Wife wants to visit some ghost towns and I know that there are some in Colorado. We also have some friends and family who live in western states. On that trip I will make it a point to visit Cahokia. Ironically (considering recent news), on my original nomadic voyage, we spent quite a stretch in Boulder, Colorado earning enough money to continue the voyage. I made some friends who lived in Table Mesa. That was years ago and I doubt if any of them are still there. I hope to pass through Boulder on our trip west.
“We might see each other on the road!”
North America is a vast continent and an inadvertent meeting on the road is a low probability event. Nevertheless, one of my stories includes just such an inadvertent meeting; so you never know.
