Good evening guys!

Yep ol Timmy can move along. Let's just hope he doesn't end up in the white house though. That would be worse.

Good morning Jay! We are headed west to Glacier National Park, then work our way to Yellowstone and possibly the Grand Tetons. Kind of playing it by ear. We will be gone about 10 days.

It's a lot of miles but not as bad you think. We're just going with the flow so who knows what will happen. No real schedule other then being to Glacier by first thing Saturday morning.

So this is our ride for vacation. We bought a 1997 conversion van and are going to sleep in it instead of hotels. Either stay at a campground for the night or park somewhere and then shower at truckstops. Found the van on FB and picked it up for 5k. It was a southern van from Mississippi so no rust anywhere and only 97k miles on it. It was very faded and needed a little TLC but I got it shined up and fixed the little things it needed plus did some preventive maintenance. The interior is leather and looks like new. Especially the back seats, it's like they have never been sat in. The back seat folds down into a queen bed and our son will sleep on the floor he said. Here is a couple before and after pics. The before are from the ad the old owner took as I forgot to take some before I starred working on it.
