You have found it! The NATCOA Camper Caravan that ran from
July 14 to August 15 2005. Alice and I joined the group in
LaGrande on Monday July 18 and continued to the end. We had
a great time and made many new friends. We look forward to
seeing you all again. When's the next trip? We're ready to
roll!
Click the photo to see a slide show of our trip. I
put much of this together as a joke while we were traveling
with the Caravan and have added some additional photos
after we reached home. It is really hokey but thought some
might get a kick out of it. Be warned that with a slow
connection you may wish to go do something exciting, such
as watch some paint dry, as this is large and will take
quite a while to download! You will need Quicktime to view.
If you don't have Quicktime see the sidebar for a link.
Click the photo to go to the photo page. I made no
attempt to edit the photos of our trip. I did exclude a
couple that simply did not turn out. Neither have I made
any effort to identify the photos or the people in them.
(You know who you are so what else matters?) Otherwise all
600 plus photos are here. In an effort to reduce the
download time I broke the photos into groups covering
visits to manufacturers and our camping spots and reduced
the resolution to low levels. If you wish to have a copy of
a higher resolution picture let me know. I will email or
otherwise get you a copy.
I anticipate leaving the slide show and pictures up on this
page for a couple months and then removing many of the
pictures to reduce the storage requirements and tighten up
browsing the site.
In reviewing the photos I feel I took too many pictures of
campers being built and not enough of the great people we
had on the trip and the beautiful places we visited. Oh
well, I'll try to do better next time. (That means there
will have to be another caravan for sure!)
The following link will allow you to download an Excel
workbook originally set up by Paul Beddows. I added
additional information and tried to list all the persons
attending the Caravan and the dates of attendance. If you
find any errors please let me know.
