It all starts with imagination

"Imagination is everything. It is the preview
of life's coming attractions." - Albert Einstein

 

Every great idea starts with imagination. It is the spark that ignites the infinite power of creation, and this gypsy caravan adventure is a fine example of the power of imagination...as it is currently only in my imagination!!

Before my father died he gave my wife and I an old 1970's Apache hard shell pop-up camper... (Just like the one pictured below...Real photo to come soon)

  ...The thing was truly "A Piece of Shit" and needed a ton of work before we could even use it.  We fixed it up as best we could and managed to take it on one camping trip up to the U.P. before we parked it (back at my Dads house) never to use it again.

Last year my stepmother called to ask me when I was going to move the camper off of her property.  At the time I was not thinking about creating a caravan and so I basically told her I didn’t want it and that she could junk it.  It wasn't until this year when I started to re-create my life and look at things I had always wanted to do and hadn't done that I realized I needed the camper to create the caravan.  I called her up out of the blue about a month ago and told her I wanted to come and get the camper.  She laughed and told me that she had just made arrangements that week to have the thing towed to the junk yard...Talk about serendipity-doo!!

I haven't been up there to get it yet because the ground has been wet and the camper is parked out in her apple orchard...but I will be getting it very soon, and my brother has graciously agreed to allow me to park it in his pole barn to work on it.

Remember...all things start with imagination...More to come!!
