All the talk about bumming food and feeding bums, reminded me of a good feel experience when we were camping in Alaska in 1993. We flew in and rented a Class C to see the state in a 2 week whirlwind vacation. We were setup for our last night before turning in the camper and flying home. We were talking to a young family with several kids (was a long time ago the facts are fuzzy) that were setup next to us with an old camper pulled by an old car. They were doing a family vacation while looking for work and had very limited funds. We mentioned we didn't really want to throw out all the food and supplies we had left but they were all open, would they be interested. Next morning they took everything we had left before we broke camp and they were very appreciative. Made a great finish to a great vacation.
Jim...
Wife and I had a simlar experience down in San Antonio with our cabover camper.. the young couple next to us were in a small car with stuff piled everywhere.. We got to talking to them and long story, short version, She was PHD of anthropology and he was student in Anciet Historys..
They had just finished a long long study tour with Margaret Mead Yes, that Mead. We had such a good time with them, invited them to stay in our cab over that night which they did.. they were on the way home to Bogota Columbia and planned on selling the car at the Panama canal and going on home by bus.. Kept in touch with them for years and finally lost track of them. Have never forgotten that trip
