Picked up 1985 VW camper van in Vancouver and took it to Seattle with two tows...

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Headed out of Costa Rica and was welcomed by these two huge art displays in Houston Texas as I entered the USA:

Very cool displays at most airports:

I made it to Vancouver BC after my Vegas trip. I grabbed my van out of storage and headed to the bank to get money for travel to Thailand.

The picture below was my first breakdown whereas a clamp broke and the van overheated in Manning Park around 65 kms out of Princeton BC.

The van is getting upgrades on the upgrades and the picture below is the UV LED lights displaying the UV activated curtains done by LaBelleFairy a professional seamstress that hand made a corset for Courtney Love and the UV activated bedding done by award winning quilt makers Heart N' Soul Quilts.

I thought I could get rid of winter but the pictures show you that I saw winter again.

That is a fat tire electric bike on the van and I have 4 hours worth of batteries when taking it for a spin. Works great on sand and gravel too.

The Texas Horned Toad sculpture brought back childhood memories for me.
Loved the crackle finish they did on both sculptures.
Travelling in VW style. When I was a boy we drove from Texas to Alaska in one. It was a wonderful journey we would stop at glaciers to get ice for the icebox.
That is where I learned how to catch a bear from an old fisherman.
He told me

You have to just put salt on his tail!

Thanks I enjoyed this post.

Thank you very much for being here!
I have such a good laugh looking at your comment section! Amazingly funny and creative people here!!

I am surprised by all the light colours in your van! How could you sleep with these lights, I wonder. It feels like your van is a disco tec.!

Wishing you a nice trip to Thailand. If you were ever planning a trip to the north east of Thailand near the Laos border, please drop by my garden. We will be glad to share a nice local lunch with you. I do appreciate yours making lots of good karma all around!

The weather is getting hot but strange winds are blowing in from the south so we have rain as well. Hope you’ll be having a pleasant holiday in Thailand!

Cheers.
