Hindsight is not always great!!  Many times it is only a teaching experience, and not always a pleasant one.

One of the sadder parts is that we had a logbook in the van.  Had dates, times for all of our trips along with comments.  Should not have kept that in the vehicle.  Hindsight is always great.

My heart goes out to you and the family.  It's real tough losing an old friend.  I hope many happy memories will sustain you.

When are you going to get another?

This morning our equipment shed burned down with our 87 Westy camper in it. It was a total loss. I had just put it in the shed this Sunday after doing a bunch of work on it over the winter. We had it since new and had a lot of great memories and trips in it ranging from the great lakes to the Southwest to California to Alaska and Canada. A bunch of other stuff including tractors and a car we're also destroyed but this is the only thing I really had an attachment to.

Here are a couple of photos:
