Howdy,
Westend (Lance) here, owner of a '71 Wanderstar 220--"The Cowboy/Hilton". I put some pictures and info in the "Others" section about my rig. I'm a semi-retarded residential building contractor, living in Shorewood, MN. My wife of 30 yrs., Rita and I have three adult children, one in Brooklyn, NY and the other two still in MN. We hope to get out on the road more in the upcoming years. Hoping for low gas prices (aren't we all
).

Welcome todd.
Did you end up taking that trip out west?
Me and the wife are considering a trip to Yellowstone soon too.
Tell us more about you trip.
