Starting Off The New Year On A Positive Note !

[Trulyvintage]

Saturday it rained and rained ..... 😔

 

About 40 miles from my destination

I waited out a day of continuous 

hard rain and strong winds ..... ⚠️
 

I had stepped up my delivery schedule

to get a special delivery to a family

anxiously waiting for their COVID relief.

 

Sunday morning the rain stopped 

long enough for me to unload on 

a side street a few miles from where

the boys would start school today.

 

I videod the arrival of the family.

 

The excited boys yelled and jumped

for joy at the sight of the 1986 VW 

Westfalia Camper Van that was now

theirs 😊

 

They had camped in a rented Westfalia for a family vacation and that is all they could talk about with

their parents - how much they wanted

one.

 

Their parents found one in 
Placitas, New Mexico.

 

A Good Way To Start A New Year 🍀

We understand. 

 

We love ours which we have had for more than 35 years.  My wife and I are getting ready to do the Rt 66 trip when this covid crap is over with.

 

We have no plans to sell it.  #2 daughter and her husband already have already claimed first dibs on it when we move to the afterlife.

Chris - the Seller - was reluctant 

to see it go.

 

His best friend passed away last year.

 

They used to travel the country on

Harley Davidson motorcycles following 

baseball game schedules

of teams that Chris favored 👍

 

Chris didn’t feel quite right about

continuing that tradition on his own

so he sold his Harley and used that

money along with the money from

the sale of the Westy to buy a vintage

Porsche to enjoy.

 

I suggested the drive to Dennis Hopper’s

gravesite in Rancos De Taos,

New Mexico.

 

it is a beautiful drive in the Spring 😉

Had a 70 Westphalia and toured all over the US from coast to coast and up and down. RVEECO cooler. Is what melted the coil in the AZ desert. Used to joke it would sleep two friendly adults, one not-so-friendly adult, and one midget.
