Charles Kuralt's "on the Road" TV segments and shows along with John Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley" sparked my interest in RVing before I could even drive. My first trips in a homemade truck camper were before some of the Interstates were completed. My first was similar to Steinbeck's following US-20 to Yellowstone National Park. Travelling as a single teen, I was adopted and treated like family even if only for a day or two by many great folks along the way. I met several that I kept in touch with over the years.
