The wherefore and the why


Then I got to thinking what makes you want to go

To know the wherefore and the why
So many times now, oh Lord I can't remember
If it's September or July

We've had mild weather in Va so far this winter. Today was rainy but I dreamed of camping and getting away. This was how we camped:

Our 1973 Westfalia Camper on it's first camping trip with it's new owners. Putting up the road to PA at 55 or so MPH, the distinct engine sound of an air cooled motor purring up the highway. We camped with a group of other people and quickly got used to the efficiency of the bus

It's cozy, and you share tight spaces, but it felt so nice to sleep in.

Even with the addition of the Vista, we'll still be camping in the bus from time to time. But rust is starting to take its toll and it will need to go to the metal doctor soon. But then I'm starting to rust also, little by little. The change takes time, too long sometimes. There is lots to think about and plan and decide. Yet you can't let thought freeze you from action.
