[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]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? Mark Rabiner, Photographer, man of the world.
