Hi Steve and others,

        Steve, I’m sorry to hear about your van.  I’m glad to hear that all people are safe.

        I’m one of the people that gets very attached to my van.  It has been very difficult for me to either sell or be without a van in the past.  I tried for over a decade to go without a van but never got over the desire to have one in my life.  I think only you and those of us that have shared the joy both in the uses of the van but also in the community it fosters, can understand the loss of a van like yours. 

        I hope this community is able to support you and your family in continuing the journey. 

With sympathy and best wishes. 

Eric Caron

This morning our equipment shed burned down with our 87 Westy camper in it.  It was a total loss.  I had just put it in the shed this Sunday after doing a bunch of work on it over the winter.  We had it since new and had a lot of great memories and trips in it ranging from the great lakes to the Southwest to California to Alaska and Canada.  A bunch of other stuff including tractors and a car we're also destroyed but this is the only thing I really had an attachment to.

Here are a couple of photos:
