Home Sweet Home for The Road


My truck and camper are now ready to go! Here you see Sean Dempsey at his dealership in Wisconsin (www.go-anywhere.us) installing my Four Wheel Camper on my Ford Ranger. I'm grateful to Sean for the deal he gave me on this 2002 camper and for the great travel advice he and his wife let me in on while I was there. It was quite a learning experience.


The truck is also a 2002, and it has 37,000 miles. It has four wheel drive to get into some of those back roads and it has extended cab so I can stow the gear I want to keep handy. I spent a bit more on this setup than I first planned on but I think it will serve me well. I'll just have to spend fewer nights in hotels. It's a nice camper so that shouldn't be hard.

Welcome

Welcome to my travel blog! Beginning in February of 2007 I plan to spend about 10 months traveling around the US and Canada. I plan to cover the east coast, the southern states, the west coast, Alaska and then finish up by following the fall color down the Rockies. I hope to maintain this blog fairly regularly throughout the trip so people like you can keep up with where I am and what I'm doing. Please pray for me and feel free to email me at steve_maier@yahoo.com and I'll get back with you when I can. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the blog.
