Yesterday I drove home an 19995 Airstream Van (Ford) self contained with
generators and propane and second batteries its a motor home. Its a motor
metropolis. Silver, with a white high top.
Driving all over the us with it in May and part or most of June. Lots of
scenic drives I'm trying to stitch together. Much of it is so my dog has a
smile on his face his last days I hope he makes it.
I'll be inundation the list with urls to these daily shots. Some will be
taken from Leica m's and many LTM I'd have scanned at truck stops while I
eat my powered eggs. But I have a fridge and a toilet and shower and lots of
real wood cabinets so maybe I'll make my own eggs.
8 cylinders though. I guess its good for towing stuff. Would not have the
ideal mileage but I'm going to go low and slow to avoid radar and gas
stations and other cruse missiles. although it is a view from high up.
Drives about the same as my first car a V.W. 66 bus I got in 1974. It's a
normal sized van you don't have to worry about where the other side of your
car is really so much. I may love it and become a permanent nomad of the
highways. What with we fi's and at the KOA campgrounds what else would one
need?

Until May 7th, then I'm out of here:  moving to the East coast. And go into
Nomadic mode in an 1995 Airstream Van for a month or longer.
Will be on the road the whole of May and maybe some of June as they fix up
and sell my house and belongings. Twenty years of accumulation.
Website about to be reborn: www.rabinergroup.com
A big email guy: mark@rabinergroup.com even on the road.
The cellphone also will be in full swing on the road free on weekends and
evenings and if you're T Mobil free all the time.
The website updated daily in May on the road with all waitresses, breakfast
plates and "Travels with Elmo".
