I don’t remember much about the trip as I was just four years old, but I do remember the teardrop trailer that my dad, George Nelson, built for our family’s trip to Oregon in 1945. Above is a picture of my mother, Arlene, preparing a meal alongside the road, for Dad, my little sister, Susan, and me.
Since then my husband and I have traveled in a 16 foot Kenskill trailer, a pickup and overhead camper, a fifth-wheel, a class C Fleetwood motorhome and our present Winnebago class A. The RV mode of travel enabled us to give our three sons the great experience of seeing and enjoying much of the beauty of the west.
