Notice of Trip Reports ownership transition, June 8th 2013

Howdy, Testudo:

Thanks my friend! Trip Reports was quite a run; I'm happy to have passed the baton on to someone as capable as Steve, who transformed it into a more navigable animal!

BigfootFord:

Cheers! I hope you use this resource often!

Silver-

Thanks for all you have done for this topic!

I will quote all that have posted and say "DITTO"!

Jim

Let me put in my, belated, two cents....

You had a great run with TR, 'Silversand'. As far as I can recall, you were the first person to try to bring order to that chaos and, through your efforts, you created one of the most valuable resources on the RV.net site. Many thanks for your efforts.

Good luck to 'Sabconsulting'. You are a smart guy and a world traveler in your own right so I feel confidant that you will only build succesfully on 'Silversand's foundation.

Mr Phelps: I truly like your "Retrospective Introspections:" write-up back in 2010, and suggest that all new truck camper wannabes read it through! Thanks for your contributions.

Sleepy: I attempted to organize your prolific boondocking journals in TR, however realized that those prolific Threads really needed a TOC unto themselves! Thanks for being a steadfast backer and reader of the TR imitative my friend!

Bigfootgrey: thank you for following along, fellow Northeast Truck Campers !

The Mad Norsky: I hadn't realized that you had moved over to a 5ver. Having been a TC member for so long, your handle will always connote to me you being a truck camping enthusiast!

Camper Jeff & Kelli: thank YOU for being both an enthusiast and contributor! Sabconsulting is indeed a prolific transcontinental truck camping expe, and will make a tremendous "leader".

Sabconsulting: If there would be just one word of wisdom to impart to our new "leader", it would be: make TR your own baby, and give it a new personality ;)

Turtle Bax: I'm glad you mentioned how you connected with truck camping and truck campers. This was precisely what I envisioned trip reports to be: transcending travel genre; and once you are hooked, well, you're hooked :B

Jammin' Along: Thanks for your good wishes! We try and make the transition as seamless as possible :)

Jefe 4x4: well, reading your wonderful praise, I'm blushing! I have been known to wrap a riddle around enigma, and play with lexical ambiguity...for pun only :D

C Traveler 2: I have always appreciated your intense dedication to TR! If you and I were ever appointed to the Security Council, who knows what we could do :D

My personal thanks to Silver for all his great efforts in keeping TCTR alive, there is no doubt it took a lot of his time to manage that sticky.:B

Silversand,
Time marches on whether we're there or not. Good job, my friend. You were at the helm of something that needed constant attention and updating, and that can suck the clock right of your wrist.
Silver, you gave us a sort of high class image, with a depth of knowledge and your wonderful obfuscasional vocabulary. I always had to re-read what you wrote to make sure I understood what you were trying to say. Let's just call it, "silverspeak'.
After attending OX2013 I surfed the Net to see if any other sites to do with truck campers were as on-board about Overlanding and XTC-ing as it seems many folks on here are. None found.
The TR's on the TC forum are as good as it gets. Many kudos belong on your lapel for the in-depth organization of TR's.
regards, as always, jefe

Wow! It's a passing of the torch! I'm glad we're still in good hands.

Best of luck to BOTH of you ~ Silversand & Sabconsulting!!

May the fun continue....

Hello All,

I want to thank EVERYONE for thier contribution to the Trip Reports on this forum.

It was the Trip Reports section that I first came to, during my initial research, and it was my first introduction to any RV Forum.
I remember thinking "WOW, who are these people with the amazing RVs, called Truck Campers?!"

Again, Thanks to all.

Best Regards,
TurtleBax

I'd also like to thank Silversand for his great work over the years and I'll try hard to live up to his standards.

Sorry to all you expectant trip report readers that this has taken a while. Multiple multiway communications were required between Silversand, Myself, Wayne and Admin and as we are all RV-ers we are all off enjoying our RVing and other such pursuits.

Since I've now finished my Expo trip report I will look at the trip report sticky next week (from my hotel room in Geneva). First I want to see if there is any re-organisation that might be needed, so bear with me if the new trip report sticky doesn't appear immediately in the next couple of days.

All the best,

Steve.

Silver,
Thank you for all your work to constantly maintain and update the TR section.
Outsourcing to SAB should be good as he and Sally have shown great enthusiasm for the TC Forum. Congratulations to Steve and best wishes to you and Dunes.
