Motorhome

Vera and I used to love to travel in our Roadtrek Motorhome

Now that Vera has passed away, our Roadtrek mostly goes on Boy Scout camping trips.

It may look small. But, our Roadtrek is a fully -equipped,
self-contained motorhome complete with:

	Sleeping accommodations for three
	Kitchen (microwave, fridge, stove, and sink)
	Full bathroom with flush toilet
	Air conditioner, hot water heater, & furnace
	Generator

We drove it to more than a dozen of our country's beautiful National Parks::

	Badlands
	Big Bend
	Bryce Canyon
	Carlsbad Caverns
	Gettysburg
	Glacier
	Great Smoky Mountains
	Grand Canyon
	Guadalupe Mountains
	Mesa Verde
	Shenandoah
	Yellowstone
	Zion

We visited literally hundreds of interesting places, including:

	Mt. Rushmore (SD)
	Colonial Williamsburg (VA)
	Mall of America (MN)
	The Alamo (TX)
	Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (NM)
	Calgary Stampede (Alberta)
	Natchez Trace Parkway (MS)
	Niagara Falls (NY)
	Russell Cave National Monument (AL)
	Gettysburg Battlefield (VA)
	U.S. Space and Rocket Center (AL)
	National Agricultural Aviation Museum (MS)
	Vermillionville (LA)
	Blue Ridge Parkway (VA/NC)
	Hoover Dam (NV)

In the process, we drove it to two Mexican States (Coahuila & Chihuahua), three Canadian Provinces (Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Ontario) and 37 of the United States (Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming).

In the summer of 2002 we add three more states: Florida, South Carolina, and Kentucky. During the summer of 2004, we added Arkansas, Kansas, Idaho, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington,

We already visited all 48 of the continental United States in our previous van. Our goal was to visit all 48 in this van. (The road to Hawaii is much too wet and the road to Alaska is much too long.) Unfortunately, we never had a chance to add Vermont to the list for this van. We have been to Vermont but we never met our rule which was to have all three of us (myself, Vera and our son Richard) visit or experience some tourist attraction in the state. Now, we won't ever be able to add the 48th state to our Roadtrek's map. <sigh>

Here's a picture of our Roadtrek
partway up the "Going to the Sun" road
in Glacier National Park in Montana.

The view was incredible!
