Videographer’s Note ...

When I was a young lad of 11, my family embarked on a cross country camping trip. Our ‘RV’ was nothing fancy ... just a wooden box contraption my dad had built and strapped onto the top of our Dodge station wagon. Mom & dad and their four boys were in for an adventure of a lifetime!

Back then, fancy campers with all the amenities of home weren't even invented. Hamburgers were just 15 cents and a soft drink was a dime. I can remember many 'spirited' discussions I had with dad about adding that extra dime to the lunch tab.

To pay for our family vacations, dad had a number of interesting jobs in his career, including a stint as a commercial photographer. He also took lots of 8mm home movies in those days which, sadly, do not compare to the quality of today's digital video. Some of the movies in our private screening room will feature some of dad's old footage combined with recent video we have shot. It's an interesting trip down memory lane.

A lot has changed since then but one thing hasn't. More than 50 years later, the scenery in the great American outdoors is still beautiful. While I did not fully appreciate that fact the first time around, those childhood trips etched into my heart and mind a yearning for traveling that has never faded.

Happy travels! Hope to see you on the road soon. — ron
