We are VanTrippin. That's us to the right looking at the snow on our neighbor's house. That alone is a good reason take a trip where the breezes are balmy and the sun shines every now and then.
I am Ham, one half of the VanTrippin team. Our home base is in the midwest. It's a pretty nice place, but every now and then the lure of the road gets in our gut and we just have to load up the van and go. I used to be in the oil industry but the company I worked for chose to retire me at a very early age. This was before the oil industry learned how to make obscene profits which they were able to do once I was gone. Almost immediately my good friend Louie, that's Lou with an 'ie' indicating the fair sex, and I bought a plain old window van and started off on seeing the rest of the country. I was impressed by Willian Least Hurst Moon's book, Blue Highways, and from the beginning we traveled on those so called blue highways. Of course on modern maps the blue highways weren't blue anymore and we had one heck of a time finding them. I soon realized that any old two lane road was blue, if not in color, in spirit. After a trip or four around most of the 48 contiguous states and parts of Canada the old van got too tired and was replaced by a camper van made by LER industries. We naned it LER since all vehicles deserve to have their own individual names. We repeated our visits to those states, finished off the rest of the 48, and most of the Canadian provinces until the LER got a little tired and was retired to local runs only. We are still going now, but in the medium size Class C shown in DragonTrips.
I repeat, in case you didn't notice:
