Hello to all you fellow wanderers. I'm retired and live in NW Arkansas near the White river. In the last 5 years I've made several trips to the NW and SW on my motorcycles mostly off-road but some road trips as well. Now I'm thinking a truck camper along with a motorcycle is a great opportunity to stay longer and get the best of both worlds. I would really love to stay longer in boon-docking situations and explore an area. I'm fascinated with petroglyphs and ancient ruins and they would be a big part of my adventures.
There is a slight chance I might come to the RTR. I certainly want to. I've been selling off excess antique furniture and making donations to Goodwill and I hate to interrupt that as inertia is a powerful thing and it feels so good to see the mountain of stuff going away and generating money for my truck projects.
I have two vintage GMC trucks that will probably become truck campers; a 1958 GMC 1/2 ton pick-up and a 1949 GMC 1 ton flat bed. Both are getting close to being on the road from complete mechanical overhauls and I am jazzed (when I'm not bummed about set-backs). I have started a foam slide-in camper for the pick-up and if that works out, I will be doing a larger version for the flat-bed. If I decide to drop everything here at home to join you at RTR it will be in my Suburban as my truck finish dates just keep moving back.
I was a hiker and backpacker in my younger days and really miss meeting other kindred spirits. I look forward to meeting you guys as I can but until I do I'm traveling with you in my mind....Tim
