I would go anywhere with you…

Well I met her in a restaurant In Tom Petty’s Gainesville Florida Her heart was up for grabs as I cracked her King Crabs We laughed the night away She had a ticket and was leaving On a late-night flight to somewhere From this one pony town I could only frown As I watched my heart fly away I watched my heart fly away And she told me, she’s a traveler And she will always come and go When one journey ends the next one begins So, I packed my fragile heart away I packed my fragile heart away Hitchikin’, Tuk-Tuk Ridin’ Chicken Busin’, She makes no Fussin’ Five Star Hotel or No Tell Motel Her heart was just a ticket away Her heart was just a ticket away……

Van Girl With Tools Making Road Repairs

We find ourselves still resting up in Mayo Florida at The Suwannee River Rendezvous. When we bought Rado, we knew there was going to be a ton of repairs and fixes. Built in 1985, she is 34 years old. Today’s projects are to fix the heater and to get the power windows working. Multi meter in hand, we determine that the window switches and the motors are operational. Diagnosis…. the regulator gears are broken. For less than $10 and a few hours of time, we have two smooth running power windows. Multi meter back in hand, we now trace down a bad relay in the heater electronics. $20 in parts and a few hours labor… (there’s very little hand room to work inside the heater) our propane heater is back blowing hot air. Just another day on the road.

Funny Video Redneck Bowling

Redneck Bowling…. pins with strings attached. Bowl day or night in the old chicken house. Bowl a few frames on the plywood lanes. Turn the crank to reset your pins, and pull the doo-hickie to lift the thing that returns your ball. Knock ’em down, set ’em up, and get your ball returned… all by your own power. Afterwards, enjoy the beautiful Suwanee River scenery and nature. This is where Rado rests up and recuperates between adventures. Sif she’s on the road and not there, there is still plenty to do at The Suwanee River Rendezvous. Full RV Park and Camping. Dine at Grandma Susie’s Cooking Shack. Pick a pigeon and cheer it on during Frank’s Famous Pigeon Races. Place a bet and win $40 if the chicken poops on your number on Chicken Poop Bingo Night.

Vintage Retro Roadtrek Van Renovation

Realizing that we will occasionally return to the USA for family and or business needs, we take the plunge and buy a domestically based home. She is a 1985 Dodge Ram , converted by Roadtrek in a camper van. Mechanically she’s in good enough shape to buy and her retro interior is quirkey. We take a couple weeks to tune up her engine, and update her interior, still leaving her quirkiness for all to enjoy. Welcome to the family Rado… new older sister to Eldo, our Euro based 2004 Jeep Cherokee. Untold adventure awaits as we look forward to exploring all those places we missed in north America, Mexico, and central America.
