My first ford

I bought my first ford. It needs some work but I am excited about this little motorhome. It is a 1980 Vanguard

I am in Princeton. Just a short ferry ride and 4 hrs or so of driving. There are a few members here from the island. One I know lives in Courtney. I sure hope I spelled that right.

I pretty much grew up in the Cariboo. I was actually born in Princeton. Never thought I would end up back here.

Actually out camping now although it is time to start packing up and head home. I work weekends so our camping is done during the week.

Yes it is. Plus the place we stop at the most is less than a half hour from home.

Nice motor home.
Welcome to the forum.
You're officially accepted to the BC chapter by the way.
I have been away camping and still am.
So not been logged in or posting lately.
Still at the lake for a couple of days and then back at it.
If you get to the Atlas downtown can you have the eggs benny for me for breakfast, or if lunch the fish tacos....mmmmmm
Thanks.
Damn I miss eating there.
