11 summers of this now with our family of 4. It sorta blows my mind how it’s all worked out. I love these trips and am so thankful that my family still gets in the Bus and does these with me.
I usually post when I’m home but figured I’d get a jump on it mid way through the trip this year.

Doing this on my phone so will write more later. More of a picture story for now.
Basic trip is Moab, Arches, (hopefully) Canyonlands and currently in Telluride.

But just a minute, I have to up load some pics... :D

Sure looks like you eat very well when you camp!
That's my favorite way to travel, too.

Thanks for sharing another family trip. You've got a great family. \:D/

Love those pictures. I always like road trip stories. Is that a crack I see in your windshield?

71whitewesty Wed Sep 02, 2020 3:20 pm

^^ yes it is a crack. Been there now for a few years. I need to replace it but a bit afraid of what I'll find when I take it out. :D It's on the list though.

:shock:

:shock: Some sort of phallic imagery? :lol:
Love the road trip posts. Looking forward to the video version next month in December :wink: You have a sweet family and awesome memories with the buses. (And without a bus) Thanks for sharing. I’m envious.

Is that a Yeti Eagle on the bike rack? Looks very John Parker “FRO” turquoise.

Kids are getting so big! That’s a wonderful age for a young lady, everything’s perfect. At age 12, the girl brain turns in anD you have a small adult. Boy brain also turns on but has to be shared with 5 other boys.

Don’t forget to paint when you have your window out.

Great photos and family adventure! Certainly enjoy reading these family posts of yours and hoping I can get my 2 young girls & wife out on some cool camping road trips in the future..

I bought by bus for $200 in Telluride in 1993 when I was a ski bum for a year dogging dishes at a restaurant on S. Oak St. Bus was in perfect view from the base of lift 8 and saw it everyday then bought it towards the end of the ski season and drove it east.

Adjust your parking brake cables my dude! :D

^^ lol! You're right, it's been a good 10 years since I've adjusted it. Works well still but it's a long pull. :D
