Thank you! While I post to this thread mostly for “selfish” journaling reasons, I do hope that I show how fun and reliable these vans can be if you get one in decent shape and have either some DIY competence or a good local shop.
I lived in Flagstaff from 1994-1997; the southwest has it’s own amazingness; Chiracahua is one of my favorite places ever.

Been on a few nice close to home trips this spring- North Mills River campground
and Hot Springs for an organized gravel ride, no pics. Both great times.
Posting live from 3 nights at Hickory Knob State Park near McCormick South Carolina now. Nice park , trails, great site on lake, and going to play golf later today of all things- first time in 25 or so years, was on the golf team in high school so should be funny.
Cooked dinner for 4 adults last night using 4 pots, loved having the inside stove, corn on the cob and roasted vegetables in an omnia oven.

Bandits roost campground near Wilkesboro. Booked it in a flurry of reservations I made during Helene recovery when I needed something to look forward too, wasn’t paying any attention to it being a holiday weekend so only through Sunday. Been in this spot before, has a great view and lake access, so lots of chilling, some paddle boarding and mountain biking. Really peaceful weekend.

Nice! 
You are making me feel envious. Not nearly enough camping time this past few years.
Thanks for sharing! |

Camped with some friends at Wolf Ford last weekend, a primitive campground billed for equestrian use but available to everyone. It’s cheap and we reserved all the sites for the weekend so we had the whole place to ourselves. Soooo much fun was had.
No van pics but here’s some neat shots of double trouble danger noodles seen on a stupendous mountain bike ride from camp.
