Thoughts...
One of our friends from the TC forum asked about our travels... and did we buy art to hang at home.
My answer was in part:
Thinking about your question. We have been out in this camper 1238 nights. Let us assume that the cost $100 a day for us to travel and that we have over $100,000 in the camper, the truck, and the modifications.
Using these figures it would be easy to assume that we may
have a quarter of $1 million tied up in our travels over the
last 12 years. (about $10,000/year)
We could probably buy a nice painting for that; Not a great one but a very nice one
But from our point of view sharing in all of the art and other things that we have done what we have done has been priceless... And if we had a piece of art that good we would have it on permanent loan where as many others could enjoy it as we enjoy all of the things we do.
Life has really been good to us and we have been pretty good to life.
I wonder if many of you have ever looked at your investment in your trucks and campers... in the travels you share with all of us... and realize how much we appreciate it?
Chet and Janet... traveling through for more than 52 years.
BTW... as we get older we change more than we like to admit... even to our selves... just 15 years ago I was taking Whitewater raft guide training... that was my 60th year....
Traveling to museums and art galleries and Valle Caulderra at 10,000 or 11,000 feet is a big deal for us now
We hope all of you find ways to travel and share this year and always in the future..... you have a lot invested.
