Well last month we had posted pictures of our new camper and it is a pretty awesum rig. I was out in the back yard digging around in the barn and I ran across a small box of slides that were of little value until I got to the bottom and wa-la there was a picture of our old Shasta camper from 1973. It was our first rig and with Joellen and Sara being very young this was a perfect rig for a small family of 4. It had a small bed in the rear that opened up to a table and a couch that made into a small bed for the kidsand believe it or not a bathroom. It had all of what one might need to do basic camping except no air conditioner. Darn! The picture had yellowed some and I took it to the local photo shop and had it made larger and copies made. I thought after everyone seeing the new rig worth $28,000 and here is the old 72 Shasta we paid $1500 used for it.
Looking at the car well it was to cool for its time and was a 73 Olds Vista Crusier station wagon that had windows in the roof so that the kids could look out at night see the stars in the sky. I remember the many nights we would drive up north to Mercer Wisconsin to spend the weekend and the kids would fall asleep counting the stars in the evening sky.
