We started by sleeping in the back of the station wagon. Then to a tent. Then to a camper on the back of a pickup. Fun times.

After I left home, my parents would graduate to a self contained motor home, towing an International Scout to a campground, then backpacking up the mountain snd camp in a tent.

They loved it!

Thanks for the memory.
