    My favorite all time camper,I cried for months everytime I saw a school bus, We had some great times in this plus it was safe.
    The day we were at the beach in the bus we got a standing ovation by some people eating at a beach front patio,they didn't think Shorty could make is through the loose sand exit,:D

    Wwith covid I'll stick to my van and maybe a tent. I don't have to drag ,unpack suitcases because I have everything I need right at my fingertips,including my food and Coleman coffee pot and stove. We cn use power or just go primitive.
    But at the age we are now weather determines the trip.We can't be without heat or AC like we use to.

    Yuck. You can have the bedbugs and half-cleaned room. (Don't think about what's on the bedspread.) I'll stick with our motorhome where I know how clean everything is. :p

    I knew a couple here who did the exact same thing for years and years. I'm not a connoisseur, but I do like bluegrass (it's one of my XM presets.) PBS here airs bluegrass every Sunday night recorded in Marion VA. That's about 3 1/2 hours from me. I'd have to spend the night, but it's not that far. I know the shows are not reruns because the audience is [sorta] masked.
