Sun. Mar. 27th 2011, Green Achers

Join us as we travel North America in our Holiday Rambler Vacationer,

since August 2006

       Sunday is a day of rest right? Well we have been taken it pretty easy but thought maybe another day or two of taking it easy is on the agenda. After all we are at home, the weather is great so why not. Morning coffees, computing, walkabouts the resort, watching the ducks and listening to the birds and chatting with some fellow campers.

       Do you remember the Green Truck and trailer rv from last week. I'll show you the picture again.

       Well I walked by again this morning and the owners Bob and Jan were outside with their granddaughter from Michigan who was spending a week here with them. Admiring their truck we were chatting as they told me a bit of the history of this vehicle, gave me a tour inside, showed a photo album of pictures and even some magazine articles that featured their truck. They have been rving fulltime in this for the last 4 years and just love it. It gets them out there meeting people and is a great conversation piece. They did the whole conversion them selves and the interesting story of the 1965 White 3000 cabover (told by the truck itself) is here.

       They found the 1946 Trailmobile trailer in Jan 2006 and began the conversion shortly after this. And again an interesting story about told by the trailer here . They had started the Blog but have gotten lazy (as Bob said), Jan just said they just don't have time to keep it up. I will keep checking to see if they get back into it. I got the name wrong the first time, it is really Green Achers due to all the aches and pains Bob got doing the makeover. Now for a link to some pictures of renovation just click here

Green Achers

       This is one of the great things about our lifestyle, its not just the places that we travel to and sightsee, the people you meet along the way can make a very interesting trip as well. After all for us its always about the trip not just the destination, maybe because the destination keeps changing.

       After this interesting chat and tour of their house we puttered around for a while and sat in the shade with and occasional light breeze. It was 95f (37c) and very humid just perfect for relaxing with a good book. (love this weather!) It was so hot and humid inside our coach (88f, 31c) that we actually turned on the air conditioner, very humid inside. First the front one then the rear one just to exercise them both.

       Then a I fired up the barbie to grill a half of a chicken for supper with a rice pilaf and a tossed salad.

yummy chicken

       Read a bit more and some TV, where did the day go??
