    Another great magical mystery tour in the VW BUS with THE DUDE & Brent. I love your choices of overnight camping secluded areas. Loved your old stomping ground as a pimple headed school boy. Maybe a new rubber seals around the back doors ? Stay positive drive safe & my hands are giving you the V DUB sign my freind. 🙏✌ 💘 🐶 VW=😊 ♥

    This just made my heart smile! Your VW Van is one pretty lady! 💖 Looks great wherever you park her. The Dude is smitten with her, I think~ 😘Wonderful stops along the way and learning of bit of your history and the history of the 'moon mountain landscapes'. "Wisely and slow. They stumble that ran fast." --Shakespeare. Shakespeare, like me, would love the way you travel. Glad you are now where you heart calls home. 💝

    Nice ride. It's good to see you smiling. It's fun to see your old stomping grounds. I love all the town names. I check them out on the map. My fave thing on road trips were the AAA Trip-Tiks. Now it's that bossy Garmin lady.
    I'm glad your v-dub is running nicely. Co-pilot Dude loves to bark orders at you, eh? It's nice that he snuggles with you in the cold mornings. 🌬❄ My Daisy Mae's fave snuggle spot was right behind my knees. I'm a side sleeper. Snout smoochies for the Fabulous Traveling Le Dude. 😘🥰💞
    Onward! Just keep making forward progress. ➡️➡️➡️➡️🇨🇦🛺🛣🌎

That's why I asked about heat for yours, thanksfully since we weewre going skiing, they had their warm ski jacket and pants on in the Van :) My brother-in-law still lives there and has a cabin up in Barriere:) Safe travels and ALL THE BEST to you, Dude, family and friends!
